Cash, cheques or credit card payments are accepted. Cheques are payable to “Holsworthy Dental Centre”.
Some NHS patients are entitled to either full or partial exemption from charges. If you think you may qualify, please ask.
When we attend for your Domiciliary NHS dental appointment, we will ask you either to provide evidence of exemption from NHS dental charges or to pay the relevant fee. If you think you may be exempt from charges but cannot produce the necessary evidence, we will ask you to pay the full fee at your first appointment in the normal way. You will be able to claim back what you have paid if you are eligible. Wherever possible we will advise you in advance of the NHS fee which is payable at the next appointment.
You are entitled to exemption from charges if:
