In some areas there are also Dental Access Centres. Anyone who is not currently registered with a NHS dentist will be able to seek treatment from these Centres. The Centres will not register patients but anyone who is in need of dental treatment will be able to receive it.
The Community Dental Service provides treatment for people who may not otherwise seek or receive dental care, such as people with learning disabilities, elderly housebound people, people with mental or physical health problems or other disabling conditions which prevent them from visiting a family dentist.
RAF Dependants
RAF dependants can receive treatment for acute dental emergencies from RAF Dental Centres, if there is no local access to NHS facilities.
