Is your new dentist NHS or private?

I probably could have found an NHS dentist taking new adult patients if I'd gone as far out as Tolworth or New Malden, but I really wanted somewhere I could get to without having to worry about public transport. And I just needed to see a dentist right away. In fact, if I'd realised sooner that it was an infection rather than just "teething" pain, I could have gone to the emergency dental clinic at the hospital. Oh well.

Although they are only taking private adult patients, they were able to write me an NHS prescription for antibiotics, which meant that I got them for free with my Prescription Exemption Card.
