Registering with an NHS dentist
There is no need to register with a dentist in the same way as with a GP because you are not bound to a catchment area.
Dental surgeries will not always have the capacity to take on new NHS patients. You may have to join a waiting list, look for a different dentist who is taking on new NHS patients, or be seen privately.
