Disruption to Smile Dental Care Services

Tuesday, 7 April 2026

Manx Care is aware that Smile Dental Care is not currently providing dental services and is attempting to establish contact with the provider. We recognise that this situation will be concerning and inconvenient for patients, and sincerely apologise for the disruption and uncertainty it has caused. Please be reassured that work is taking place to clarify the position and restore local dental provision. In the meantime, it is important that patients are aware of the support that is available to them.

Access to urgent and emergency dental care

Patients who require urgent or emergency dental treatment can access care by contacting +44 1624 642785.

During weekends and bank holiday periods, an emergency dental rota operates and details are available on the dentists webpage, with updates also shared through Manx Care social media channels.

Urgent dental care includes conditions such as:

  • Severe dental pain
  • Facial or oral swelling
  • Uncontrolled bleeding
  • Dental trauma

Patients are asked not to attend dental services without prior contact, as urgent and emergency dental care is delivered across a number of locations and access is arranged following assessment.

Manx Care will continue to provide updates as further information becomes available.
