Local travel context
Edgbaston and Harborne have many private dental practices, but most keep office hours, so a problem on a Sunday or in the small hours can be hard to place. Students and visitors who are not registered with a local dentist can book with us without registering. The trip east is longest from Harborne, so call first if you are in severe pain and let us know roughly when you will arrive.
Trains from Birmingham Moor Street or Snow Hill reach Solihull in about 15–20 minutes by day, though services are limited late at night. From Edgbaston or Harborne you would need to reach the city centre first, so a taxi may be quicker in severe pain.
