Peterborough Dental Access Centre

About

Peterborough Dental Access Centre provides safe, compassionate NHS dental care designed for people most in need across Peterborough and the wider east of England, including Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. The service focuses on safety for both patients and its team, and as demand increases it adapts its working in line with national guidance, which may mean appointments aren’t available immediately. For those needing help quickly, the centre offers urgent dental care with the aim of making patients comfortable and providing pain relief until they can be seen by a regular dentist. It also supports “My Smile and Oral Health Improvement” and delivers routine care through special care services for adults and children who are unable to access a regular dentist, subject to eligibility. The centre can also help with minor oral surgery for patients referred by their general dental practitioner. Dental care is delivered from various sites across the east of England, and the website highlights an easy-read and translation tool to support access to information.
