Tonbridge Bean

If you’re new to the area, or you’ve suddenly realised you are not registered with the dentist, you might be asking – are there any dentists in Tonbridge taking new NHS patients? The short answer: Yes, but they’re rare and demand is high.

All dentists in the UK are private contractors and it’s estimated that 75% of these have a contract with the government to deliver NHS services. This includes services that are charged for at NHS rates, and free services (offered to pregnant patients and those on lower incomes.) So, how does this play out in Tonbridge? Do 75% of dentists offer NHS services? And if so, can new patients register.
