Dental Practices open their doors for new patients

23 March, 2011

Eight dental practices in Hull City Centre, Bridlington, Beverley, Goole, Withernsea, Pocklington, Driffield and Hornsea are now opening their doors to new NHS patients.

The practices provide a full range of dental services to patients, from simple check-ups or cleaning, right up to more complex treatments.

Denise Brindle, Dental Services Manager at City Health Care Partnership CIC said: “All eight practices are now open for NHS patients to sign up to. They are based in some fantastic locations that are easy to access and convenient, making it much easier for people to pop in, without it taking up a lot of their time.

The Hull practice particularly will be fantastic for people who work in the city centre and struggle to get to a dentist in working hours, as they can book an appointment on their lunch break or even on their way home.

Many people still perceive these practices, particularly the one on Jameson Street in Hull as only offering emergency care, so we are looking to tell the public that the doors are open for business. By offering access to routine appointments across all eight practices we can offer the patient more choice in terms of where and how they choose to access treatment. Our aim is to encourage local people to visit the dentist regularly for check-ups so that we can prevent long term problems, reminding them that they shouldn’t just visit the dentist when they have toothache.”
