NHS Patient Charges
The charge you pay depends on the treatment you need to keep your mouth, gums and teeth healthy. You will only ever be asked to pay one charge for each complete course of treatment, even if you need to visit your dentist more than once to finish it – either Band 1, Band 2 or Band 3.
This covers an examination, diagnosis (eg X-rays), advice on how to prevent future problems, a scale and polish if needed, and application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealant. If you require urgent care, even if your urgent treatment needs more than one appointment to complete, you will only need to pay one Band 1 charge.
This covers everything listed in Band 1 above, plus any further treatment such as fillings, root canal work or if your dentist needs to take out one or more of your teeth.
This covers everything listed in Bands 1 and 2 above, plus crowns, dentures and bridges.
You may be eligible for help with all or part of the costs of your NHS dental treatment. To see if this applies to you, use the "Check before you tick" website at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/check-if-youre-eligible-help

Please note that the patient is responsible for the accuracy of their claim to NHS dental patient charge exemptions or help with health costs, not the dental practice.
