Clarifying the Role of an NHS Dentist in Braintree

An NHS dentist is accredited by The National Health Service (NHS). Since its founding nearly sixty years ago, the NHS has succeeded in providing free healthcare services as well as fixed discounted pricing for NHS dental services to point-of-service patients in the UK. Members of the local community can take advantage of the hugely discounted or free dental services provided by NHS partners. The dental services provided by NHS dentists can vary depending on their agreement with the PCT. In addition to offering NHS services, dentists may also operate a private practice.
