Question 1

How do I register with an NHS dentist in Evesham?

To register with an NHS dentist in Evesham, 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.
