Dentist??

NHS sdvice is to bring baby to a dentist as soon as they have the first milk tooth but it's impossible to find a practice that accepts new NHS patients! Is private the only way to go? Is there any way to track when practices open their waiting lists?

Just keep ringing round, took me the entire pregnancy to find one literally. Don’t go off nhs website x

My dentist wasn't accepting new patients, so I just took babe in with me when I went for my check-up and just asked the receptionist if she could register her there and then and it wasn't a problem x

@Bethany I was told to do same

I registered mines before first milk tooth

I spoke to HV and they gave me a number to call to complain

My dentist took my little boy even though they are not excepting patients as I am registered

Surely they can automatically register with your NHS dentist if they have one? Both of mine have been added because we are registered

I rang my practice earlier and they said they ain't taking new patient. Will try again when I go there for a check up in couple of weeks. My dentist practice is a bit awkward tho.

There’s an NHS website but in my experience it’s not kept up to date. I haven’t managed to get an NHS dentist for my 3 year old. I have an NHS dentist but they won’t accept new referrals, even my children, so no they can’t (or won’t) necessarily register your kids.
