All treatment that is
clinically
necessary to protect and maintain good oral
health is available on the NHS.
This means the
NHS provides any treatment that you need to keep your mouth,
teeth and gums healthy and free of
pain.
Some
treatments, mainly cosmetic, are
not available under the NHS, and you may wish
to have these
carried out privately.
If
you normally pay for NHS dental treatment, the fees
will depend on what clinical treatment you
need.
There are three NHS charge bands:
Band
1 course of treatment - £23.80:
This covers an examination, diagnosis (e.g.
X-rays), advice on how
to prevent future problems, a
scale and polish if clinically needed, and preventive care such as
application of
fluoride varnish or fissure
sealants if appropriate. If you require urgent care, even if
your
urgent treatment needs more than one appointment
to complete, you will only
need to pay one Band 1
charge.
Band 2 course of
treatment - £65.20:
This covers everything listed in Band 1 above, plus any further treatment such as fillings, root canal work or if your dentist needs to take out one or more of your teeth.
Band 3 course of
treatment - £282.80:
This covers everything listed in Bands 1 and 2 above, plus crowns, dentures or bridges.
Some people do not have to pay for NHS dental treatment – see Who is entitled to free NHS dental treatment in England?
