Look after your NHS Dental Registration or you may lose it.

Did you know that in order to keep your NHS dental registration at an NHS practice you need to attend regularly?

Please read the information below and be sure to keep up your NHS dental registration.

Many of our patients forget to make regular visits to see their dentist. And then, before they realise, it’s been nearly two years!

But be warned!

Due to the high number of people wishing to receive NHS dental treatment and the very long waiting lists, your dental practice has no choice but to de-register patients who have not attended for more than 18 months

In our practices, we try to remind our patients when they are due for their dental examinations via text message or email. However, we often find that many of our communications get returned as patients do not update their details with us.

What do you need to do to keep your registration?

Always attend any appointment booked, or cancel the appointment more than 24 hours in advance.
Make sure you book your next dental examination before you leave the practice if possible. Whether it’s three, six, nine or even twelve months in advance, our reception teams will help you make your next appointment.
Check and update your contact details. Be sure they are correct, especially your email address and mobile phone number, if you have one. If we can keep in touch with you, then we can help you keep on track so you don’t miss booking your appointment.
If you are caring for an older person, then help them to keep up their registration too by tracking their appointments for them.
If you have not booked an appointment, please contact us to make an appointment at your earliest convenience.

Use it! Don’t lose it!

Once you have been de-registered, you are no longer able to receive NHS treatment at the practice. If you want to receive NHS treatment again, you will need to either find a practice still accepting new patients or join a waiting list at a practice with a list open. As NHS waiting lists are long, it may be some time before you can join another practice. So our recommendation is that you protect your registered status.

Remember:
Our recommendation is that you protect your registered status by attending your appointments, and booking your next appointment before you leave the practice.

Check list for staying on the NHS dental register:

  • Attend all your appointments or cancel well in advance.
  • Always book your next appointment before you leave the surgery.
  • keep your contact details up to date.
  • Make sure you visit your dentist regularly (and don’t leave it for longer than 18 months!).
