We are sorry, but we cannot recommend a dentist, or give you the names and addresses of NHS dentists who are accepting new patients.
NHS Direct provides this information on behalf of local Primary Care Trusts (the local health authorities). You should call 0845 46 47 (local call rate) for the latest information on NHS treatment availability in your area.
You can also look up the availability of local NHS dentists yourself on the internet at www.nhs.uk/root/localnhsservices/default.asp. |
