Doctors, dentists and opticians
Dentists
Do not forget to go to the dentist for a check-up. The time between check-ups can vary from three months to two years. This depends on how healthy your teeth and gums are and your risk of future problems.
Find an NHS dentist
You should be aware that many dentists accept both NHS and private patients. The number of NHS patients they accept may be limited. You may need to join a waiting list.
If you can't find a dentist
If you're struggling to register with a dentist, speak to your personal advisor.
