NHS Dentistry

What can your NHS dentist do for you?

The NHS provides essential treatments needed to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy and free of pain.  

Your first routine visit

The dental practice will take your medical and dental history (if available) and carry out a check-up, examining your mouth, teeth and gums.

Following your check up if your dentist recommends dental treatment, you’ll be given a plan. This outlines all the treatments you are having and how much they will cost. If you are not given a treatment plan, ask for one.

Your dentist will recommend a date for your next visit. People with good oral health may need to attend once every 12-24 months, but those with more problems may need to visit more often.
