Treatments free of charge
You do not have to pay a dental charge:
- if you are having stitches removed
- if your dentist has to stop bleeding from your mouth
- if your dentures need repair. However, if it isn’t possible to repair your dentures and you need new ones then you’ll have to pay for this with a Band 3 charge
The NHS will not provide cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, which you may want to make your teeth more attractive, but which are not clinically necessary. Even where treatment is clinically necessary the dentist will offer you a treatment option that is clinically appropriate. If you choose to have alternative treatment options then you will have to pay privately for these.
PLEASE NOTE THE NHS CHARGE DOES INCREASE ON 1st APRIL EVERY YEAR
