Nhs dentists in Liverpool?

[elliejjtiny]

Do they exist? We don't have any nhs dentists in our area apart from for children and ds1 has been kicked off the nhs list at our dentist now that he is 18. Just wondering if he could get a nhs dentist in Liverpool when he goes to university in September.

There are several near the uni Dentists near L3 5TR - NHS

I don’t know if it’s still a thing but when I was there the uni dental school had sessions where members of the public could go and be seen/treated by dental students (they are fully supervised!). My brother had a filling done there when he was a student and was all fine

Is being kicked out of the dentist at 18 a standard thing?

They should’ve given him at least 3 months notice.

In England and Wales there is no such thing as Registration with a dentist. Once a course of treatment has finished you have no right to be seen at that dentist again, although most try to prioritise regular patients.

No,practice has to give anyone any notice they will not see you again. If they do not have capacity then they cannot see you.

Where a practice has a small contract they cannot see more than a limited number of patients so many try to prioritise the vulnerable ie children .

I see, it must be different in Scotland where I am

Yes it is. In Scotland and NI there is registration and yes, unless violence or abuse is involved , a patient has to be given three months notice.

Hope England and wales catch up, terrible they can just chuck you out with how brutal some dental issues can be

There was one on Childwall triangle (Dunbabin Rd, not the posh one) that was taking on NHS adult patients but I don’t know if they’re now full.

Nope. Wales is bringing in a system where you see a dentist for one course of treatment then you go in a central waiting list to be assigned another NHS dentist at some time in the future , anywhere in your health authority.

At the moment the central waiting list is only open to those who haven’t seen a dentist in at least four years L
