Dear Student

I am aware that this is a very insecure time for you and you’re Family with regards to your dental insurance and treatment.

At Smile Dental Care the dental health of you and your children is extremely important to us and we wish to ensure that you are able to have access to essential treatment.

During this uncertain time we are happy to register you and your family as NHS patients and provide you with the treatment available as per NHS rules.

We are also able to offer independent treatment if requested and you can discuss this with your dentist at your appointment.

Please note that children up to the age of 18 years can be treated under the NHS for free (including some orthodontic treatment).

If you are not on any benefits you are required to pay 80% of the NHS fees as per government regulations. Some treatments may require approval from the Scottish Dental Estimates Board before commencing.
