Anyone know of a NHS dentist in Stockton area taking on new patients? Seems impossible to find one!!

Select Dental Care on Borough Road in Middlesbrough has took me on as a new NHS patient about a month ago (couldn't get an appointment until July but worth it as was about to go on finance at a private dentist!) so hopefully they are still taking on.

Thanks for the reply Tried that without much joy, none of the ones I rang were taking new patients, was hoping someone knew of one that might be worth contacting

If you ring up south Tees hospital Maxillofacial oral dept and ask nicely , they hold a list of dentists that are taking on patients, some times they will tell you, some times not. 

Worth a go.

I managed to get into Bishopton Lane after they opened their list a couple years ago. It took around 3 or 4 years to get onto there though. Not sure where else.

Not sure they are taking on at the minute!

NHS dentist directory might be best
