How do I register with an NHS dentist in Croydon?

To register with an NHS dentist in Croydon, contact the practice directly and ask if they are accepting new NHS patients. You do not need to register in the same way as with a GP - simply book an appointment and confirm you'd like NHS treatment. If you're struggling to find a practice, call NHS 111 or contact your local Integrated Care Board (ICB) for help finding availability.

What is the difference between NHS and private dental treatment?

NHS dental treatment covers clinically necessary care at fixed prices set by the government. Private treatment offers a wider range of options including cosmetic procedures and premium materials, but at higher costs set by each practice. Both NHS and private dentists are qualified to the same standard - the difference is in the range of treatments available and the materials used.

Can I get emergency NHS dental treatment in Croydon?

Yes, if you have a dental emergency such as severe pain, swelling, or trauma, you can contact an NHS dental practice in Croydon for urgent care. If your regular dentist can't see you, call NHS 111 for help finding an emergency dental service. Emergency treatment falls under Band 1 (£27.40) unless further treatment is needed.

What NHS dental treatments are available for children in Croydon?

Children under 18 (or under 19 and in full-time education) are entitled to free NHS dental treatment. This includes check-ups, fillings, extractions, and orthodontic treatment where clinically necessary.
