| Can I have NHS dental treatment? |
If you are accepted for treatment by an NHS dentist, the NHS will contribute towards the cost of your treatment. The amount that the NHS contributes towards your treatment is dependent on your individual circumstances.
Please note that NHS fee levels are fixed by the government. The NHS cannot force a dentist to accept you as an NHS patient.
Once you have been accepted as an NHS patient by a dentist, and have registered with that dentist, then you do have an entitlement to NHS treatment, just from that particular dentist. But the entitlement ends if your registration lapses - the process goes back to the beginning and the dentist can decide again whether to re-register you as an NHS patient.
As a registered patient, you may prefer to have some of your treatment privately and some under the NHS. Your dentist will discuss with you the best options for you.
