Getting to us from Wickford
The clinic is a short drive north of the city, so it is one of the most convenient options when your own practice is closed or cannot fit you in. From Wickford city centre it is around 5 miles up the A1081 (Basildon Road / London Road), typically about 15 minutes by car. It is easy to reach from across Wickford, including the Cathedral and Verulamium Park area, St Peter’s Street, Marshalswick, Fleetville and Steeple View.

What to do while you wait
Over-the-counter pain relief taken as directed can ease most dental pain until your appointment. For a knocked-out adult tooth, keep it moist in milk, avoid touching the root, and call us immediately — quick action improves the chances of saving it. If facial swelling is spreading, closing your eye, or affecting breathing or swallowing, treat it as an emergency and seek immediate medical help.
