From today the Scottish Government have introduced a new NHS dental system, with significant changes. There is more flexibility to use some more modern materials for patients, and the system has been somewhat simplified. The same exemptions from NHS charges that existed before are still available , and the NHS maximum charge remains at £384, however some NHS patient charges for individual treatments have risen significantly. Patients should also be aware that routine check ups are now no longer available every 6 months on the NHS and can only be carried out annually or at longer intervals. Please bear with us as we work with these changes as they are significantly different for our staff. Details of some of the new charges are attached here.
