What can you see a dentist for?

A dentist can help with toothache, tooth decay, gum problems, a chipped or broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, sensitivity, mouth ulcers that do not heal or a wisdom tooth causing pain. They also carry out check-ups, scale and polish, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions and dentures, and can refer you to a specialist or a hospital dental service when needed. A dentist for kids can check your child's teeth and offer prevention advice.

NHS and private dental care in the UK

Many practices offer both NHS dental care and private treatment. In England, you do not formally register with a dentist as you do with a GP: you contact a practice that is accepting NHS patients, and NHS treatment is charged according to set bands. In Scotland, you register with a dentist for NHS care, and rules on charges differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. NHS dental treatment is free for children under 18, and for certain other groups such as pregnant women, those who have had a baby in the last 12 months and people receiving some benefits. Ask the practice which charges apply to you.
