Changing dentists

You may need to find a new dentist because:

• you've moved house
• you're unhappy with your dental care
• your dentist has stopped providing NHS treatment

Changing dental practices

You should let your dental practice know that you're leaving.

If you register with a new dentist that provides NHS treatment, you'll no longer be registered with your old dentist.

You can find a local dentist using NHS Inform Find Your Local Service.

What to do if you're unhappy with your dental care?

If you're unhappy with your dental care speak to:

• your dentist
• a member of staff at the dental practice

There is advice and guidance available about complaining about your dental treatment.

What to do if your dentist stops providing NHS treatment

• You'll usually be told about three months in advance
• Your dentist must do their best to complete any NHS treatment you need

Your dentist may recommend a new dentist or you can find a new NHS dentist using NHS Inform's Find Your Local Service.
