To send a request to a student you need an account. It is free for patients, and takes two short steps: what is wrong and when you can come, then your details.

What is bothering you?

Tick whatever applies. You do not need to know which treatment you need — the student works that out at the examination.

Urgent

My gum or face is swollen, or there is a boil-like lump next to a toothI recently hit a tooth — it broke, came loose or fell out

Pain

I get pain on its own, without chewing or eating (throbbing, wakes me at night, comes in waves)Severe pain from cold or hot lasting more than 10–15 secondsPain from cold or hot that disappears almost immediatelyA tooth hurts when I bite down or press on itA tooth hurt badly, then the pain stopped by itself

Teeth

I can see decay, or a dentist has told me I have decayFood gets stuck between two teeth (I have to get it out with floss or a toothpick, and the gum there is sore)I have badly broken-down teethA dentist has told me a tooth needs root canal treatmentA dentist has told me I have teeth that need taking out

Gums

My gums bleed when I brush and are sensitive, or a dentist has told me I have a gum problemI have loose teeth

Missing teeth and dentures

I am missing one or more teethA crown or bridge has broken, come off or does not fitMy denture has broken or does not fit

Other

Nothing is wrong — I want a check-upI can't describe what's wrong

The pain stops me sleeping or eating, or painkillers do not help

What students are looking for right now

Fifth-year students have practical exams and need particular cases. If any of the descriptions below sounds like you, check that you have marked it above — a student will find you sooner. None of this is a diagnosis; the student assesses on the day.

Food that gets stuck between two back teeth, and you have to get it out with floss or a toothpick.
A tooth that hurts on its own, without eating — throbbing, or waking you at night — and it is a front tooth, a canine or a small tooth rather than a big one at the back.

Who is this request for?

An adult (18 or over)A child under 18

All teeth missing

What is bothering you?

Required if you ticked nothing above. Otherwise optional but strongly recommended — it is the first thing a student reads, and what they judge whether they can take the case on. Say how long, whether it hurts, which tooth. Do not put a phone number or email here.

When you can come

Only tick the times you can genuinely make. A student checks these against their weekly timetable and sees straight away whether they can take you — so three accurate boxes beat ten maybes.

Tick the exact day-and-time combinations you can make

These start times are approximate — the faculty keeps its own timetable and the student confirms the exact hour. Tick when you could usually come.

I can come any time. A student books you into whichever session they have free — nothing to arrange.
