Register with a Dentist

Where to register
If you wish to register with an NHS dentist you can search the NHS Dentist Locator website for local dentists. You will need to contact each dentist individually to ask if they are still registering NHS patients and make an appointment accordingly.

Emergencies
It is very difficult to see a NHS dentist in an emergency if you are not already registered and GPs and casualty departments are unable to do dental work.
You will need to call local dentists to see if they are offering emergency appointments. Otherwise you may need to pay for a private consultation and treatment, this can cost upwards of £30 depending on the dentist and treatment.

If you are not registered with a dentist, in an emergency call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 and they will be able to advise you on the most appropriate service for you.
