Dentist

 Looking for an NHS dentist?

The NHS UK  website has details of any dentists in your area taking on new clients. 

The site is not always up to date so ringing dentist directly may also help.

Problems finding an NHS dentist

If after contacting several dental practices you still can't find a dentist accepting NHS patients, you should call NHS England's Customer Contact Centre on 0300 311 2233.

NHS England commissions dental services in England and is required to meet the needs of their local population for both urgent and routine dental care. 

If NHS England has been unable to help you find a dentist and you want to raise your concerns about this, contact them on: 

• email: england.contactus@nhs.net
• phone: 0300 311 2233
• visit the NHS England website

If you're still not satisfied with NHS England's response, you can take your complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.
