NHS Tower Hamlets arranges NHS dental services in the borough. This includes urgent treatment, out-of-hours care and emergencies.

NHS offers free care to patients whom the dentist feels needs treatment; this inlcudes dentures, crowns and bridges.

You no longer need to register with a dentist to get regular treatment. Contact a practice offering NHS dentistry and enquire for an appointment.

Only around 42% of adults in Tower Hamlets access dental services compared to 47% in London.

The Primary Care Trust has developed a scheme to improve dental health services for children and adults.
