Questions
Asked at reception most days
Are you taking NHS patients?
For children, always. For adults the list opens a few times a year and we announce it here and on the door — there is no waiting list to join, which we know is annoying, but it is fairer than a list nobody moves up.
What if something happens at the weekend?
Ring the practice number and the answerphone gives you the out-of-hours service. For anything involving swelling that is spreading, or difficulty swallowing, go to A&E rather than waiting for us.
I have not been to a dentist in years.
Then you are in good company, and nobody here will make a thing of it. Book a check-up, say on the phone that it has been a while, and we will give you a longer appointment.
Do you take card, and can I pay monthly?
Card, yes. There is also a monthly plan that covers check-ups, hygiene and a discount on everything else — ask at reception for the current price.
