Maternity Exemption Certificate for Dentist

Hello,
I've just had a cap fall off my tooth and was wondering how I can apply for a maternity exemption certificate for the dentist? I had my booking in appointment a few days ago, and annoyingly, this just happened today. Do I have to call the midwife, is getting one before my first scan possible?
Thank you! I'd appreciate any advice

@Appzy

Can I ask what helpline that was?

I don't have a midwife yet as my booking was done at hospital and the exemption certificate would be really helpful to get my nausea medication for free. Been paying for it so far!

its 02033126135. Good luck and hope the nausea eases for you!

I'm sure you know this already but I wasn't able to register for an NHS dentist (no availability locally) so was paying privately before PG. That meant my exemption wasn't valid and I still have to pay.
I had to call a local dentist to see if they would accept me as an NHS patient (there's a long queue but its possible)! There's a link on the NHS website that flags dentists who are currently accepting patients. It doesn't always have up to date information, but it was a useful start! x
