Dentists
To find your nearest NHS dentist call the Dental
Helpline on 0845 120 6680 or find a dentist online.
Your dentist can:
- provide regular check ups on your teeth and gums (adults should
have a check up at least every two years, under 18s at least once a
year)
- teach you how to look after your teeth and gums to prevent
problems
- restore teeth damaged or lost due to decay, in an accident or
other reasons.
NHS Bristol is responsible for NHS dentistry in the area.
NHS dentists have agreed to provide NHS dental services for the
local community.
- You can see an NHS dentist anywhere in the city - you are not
restricted by your postcode.
- Dental practices can take private and NHS patients.
- Most practices take a mixture of both.
Call your local dentist to ask about the services they provide
and make an appointment.
