Dental & Optical Advice
Your GP isn't always the best person to help with specialist concerns. If you have a dental or mouth issue, we strongly recommend seeing your Dentist, who specialises in Oral Care and can prescribe antibiotics if required.
Similarly, your Optician can help with any eye concerns, they have the right tools and specialist training to ensure you get the right care.
DENTAL:
We most strongly advise all patients to register with a dentist and ensure that they receive regular dental care. The doctors will not provide treatment for dental problems
Patients who are not registered with a dentist can access emergency care during the week through the Fife Emergency Dental Service (FEDS) Next Day Care rota.
If you are not registered with a dentist and have a dental emergency, you should call the Fife Dental Advice Line on 01592 226555 (8am-5.30pm) or NHS24 on 111 if after 6pm. For more information click here.
OPTICAL:
If you have an eye/sight concern, you should, in the first instance, speak to your optician. They have the purpose-made equipment for examining your eyes and are eye specialists, unlike the GPs. Click here for a list of opticians in the area
