Registering with a dentist

NHS availability changes over time, so it is always worth contacting practices directly to ask whether they are taking on new NHS patients, or whether private registration is the quicker route. Many practices in the area offer membership plans that spread the cost of routine care across the year.

For urgent dental problems out of hours, NHS 111 can direct you to emergency dental services covering Northumberland.
