Dental Care
You normally have to pay for dental care in the UK. In the following cases, it will be free.
- If you are under the age of 18
- If you are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months. You will need a certificate to show in this case.
- Some treatments are free, such as removing stitches or repairing dentures.
You need to register at a dentist's surgery. Find your nearest dentist surgery.
If you require urgent dental care either:
- Call your dentist
- Call NHS 111
- If it is an emergency go to your nearest hospital with an Accident & Emergency (A&E) department
