The research also revealed that across a third of the UK’s more than 200 council areas, no dentists were taking on adult NHS patients and eight in 10 NHS practices were not taking on children.
NHS dental charges had been frozen since December 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Treatments are split into different bandings, depending on if you need just a check-up or a more complicated procedure. The price of a routine check-up, which falls under Band 1, has increased from £23.80 to £25.80. Meanwhile fillings, root canal and removing teeth, which come under Band 2, have gone up from £65.20 to £70.70.These price increases only affect NHS patients in England. NHS patients in Wales are charged £14.70 for Band 1 treatments, £47 for Band 2 and £203 for Band 3.
