Availability of NHS dental appointments varies by area and changes often. Check each practice's listing for its NHS/private status, then contact the practice directly to ask whether it is currently accepting new NHS patients. The NHS website's 'Find a dentist' service and NHS 111 can also help, especially for urgent needs.
NHS dental treatment in England is charged in fixed bands set nationally — a lower band for examinations and simple treatments, and higher bands for more complex work such as fillings, crowns or dentures. Charges are reviewed annually. Some people (for example children, and those on certain benefits) are exempt. Cosmetic-only treatments are generally not available on the NHS.
For severe pain, swelling, bleeding or trauma, contact your dentist as soon as possible — many keep emergency slots. Out of hours, call NHS 111, which can direct you to urgent dental care. If there is difficulty breathing or swallowing, or significant facial swelling, treat it as a medical emergency and call 999.
