  • referral to a dental hospital for specialist treatment
You can find your nearest NHS dentist by visiting the website below and entering your postcode, town or area. This website is for England, but you can change the area by clicking on the links on the bottom of the page entitled, NHS Northern Ireland, NHS Scotland and NHS Wales. 

Visit the NHS website to find a NHS dentist near you.

Dental costs

There are three standard charges for all NHS dental treatments. This makes it easier to know how much you may need to pay and also helps to ensure that you are being charged for NHS care (rather than private care).

You can still receive free NHS dental treatment if you meet the exemption criteria.

Visit the NHS website to find NHS dental care costs.
