We don't rate every type of service. Some services - like dentists - we don't have the legal power to rate. For these services, we show ticks and crosses to explain where we have found that action needs to be taken. Our approach changed in June 2024 so our reports from before that have slightly different wording.
NHS dentists are required by the NHS to indicate on their NHS profile on the NHS website if they are accepting new NHS patients. We check the NHS website daily to see which dentists are accepting new NHS patients.
If you have searched for dentists near you accepting new NHS patients, and a dentist on your list tells you they are not currently accepting new patients, then please politely ask them to update and correct their NHS profile online.
Currently Dental Choices uses data self-reported by practices (via the NHS website), but we think user corrections and updates might be more helpful. See our GoFundMe for more details and how to help.
Genix Healthcare was founded in response to the severe shortage of NHS dentists. Our aim was, and still is, to make dental care accessible and affordable to all and to give both NHS and private patients an excellent standard of care.
The service is available by calling 0300 1234010 between 8am and 9pm Monday to Friday or 10am to 5pm at the weekend and on bank holidays. Emergency treatment can also be accessed by visiting 111.nhs.uk or calling 111.
Clare Granger, a dentist and a senior clinical fellow for the ICB, said: We know that access to NHS dental services is a difficult issue at the moment and we receive complaints and comments from local people who are struggling to access an NHS dentist.
The best way to make sure you have healthy teeth and minimise your need to go to the dentist is to look after your teeth at home, both by limiting your sugar intake and by brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
