    You could try your local Dental Hospital. I believe that you can get free treatment there - certainly for emergencies.

    Update.

    I rang the NHS this morning. I got an appointment late afternoon. They confirmed my suspicions and due to my wisdom teeth gradually breaking through it made the surrounding gum open to infection. They gave me a prescription and I made it to the pharmacy with minutes to spare. Tomorrow I'm registering with a local dentist to get my wisdom teeth periodically checked. As I'm on JSA it was free.

    I've taken my meds and the swelling is nearly gone! I can finally smile again without it hurting my face. On the downside people are no longer going to refer to me as the Don.

    Everyone was really helpful from the people who manned the phones to the very beautiful dental assistant who had me weak at the knees.

    Thanks again everyone!
