THE PRACTICE WILL BE CLOSED ON FRIDAY 24th JANUARY 2025 DUE TO THE FORECASTED STORMY WEATHER. In case of an emergency the practice phoneline will be answered and advice and/or options made available. The Scottish Government have reviewed the provision of NHS dentistry within Scotland, resulting in a number of significant changes as of the 1st November 2023. The main changes will include: • The number of treatments available on the NHS have decreased • How often those treatments can be provided to patients • Increase in NHS costs for some treatments • Some treatments that were previously free will now incur a charge, such as a denture repair will cost £50.88 For most patients the period of time between dental examinations will increase to on average to every 12 months, however if you have any concerns about your dental health or notice any changes its imperative you contact us and we will arrange to see you sooner. It is important that you attend when recommended and don’t miss appointments. All booked appointments remain unaffected so there is no need to contact the practice, if you wish any further information regarding the Scottish Governments Reform please visit: https://nhsinform.scot/dentist
