Dentists while pregnant

[taliac]

I have one of those certificate thingies that entitles you to free dentistry while pregnant.

But I cant find anyone who will take it. I have tried the NHS listings, but the local dentists listed as taking Charge Exempt Adults - which surely this is - say they dont take maternity patients. One said it was not in their contract. Any ideas?

NHS Direct should be able to give you some contact details.

hmmm not sure....i have just got back from my dentist...(new) just googled NHS dentist in my area and the first one i called took me on? Looks like I could have just been luckY!! Good luck x

have tried the local ones listed in nhs

guess i keep trying with further away ones

grrrr

Thats strange.

I had a private dentist in my first pregnancy and there were no problems and then an NHS for my last baby and this one.

if you cant find a dentist then call NHS direct. dentists are not obliged to take nhs patients, pg or not unfortunately
