Waiting times
If you are eligible to access dental care with us, waiting times apply and will be discussed with you when you call us to make an appointment.
When you call us for an appointment, we will ask you a range of questions about your teeth and mouth, we will then discuss with you your options to access dental care.
We may offer you care provided by a private dentist through one of our dental schemes.
Support for families
We offer support to families that may be at a higher risk of having dental problems, or who find it hard to access dental care.
When making a dental appointment, talk to our staff about any support that may be available for you and your family.
