Dentist

HI all,

My midwife told me that I am entitled to free dentistry whilst pregnant. I have spent all afternoon trying to register but it would seem that there are no spaces and no waiting list I can add myself to! Anyone got any ideas on how to get around this??? Thanks

You can phone NHS Direct and ask for NHS dentists who are taking people on in your area. My mother did that recently.

I have a private dentist and Im trying to figure out the best way to rope him into giving me free treatment...

Hiya,I put myself and kids on the Nhs waitin list in January,they told me it should only take a few weeks...6 months later I rang again,only to b told that the waitin list in my area is a year!!! Luckily there's a clinic that's just expanded approx 20 miles away so I got registered there xxx

Thanks ladies. I spoke to one dentist this afternoon who asked me to ring back in November! That's the best I got! I will try and register although I'm not planning dental treatment same time as baby is due!!!
