You can register now with new NHS dentist at Spalding hospital
Prospective patients are now invited to register with the NHS dentist opening at Spalding's Johnson Community Hospital on January 7.
The hospital will be the base for a new team of dentists and dental care professionals from Community Dental Services (CDS) CIC.
CDS say the new practice will deliver high quality NHS, independent, and urgent care for all the family.
Emergency care slots will be available throughout the day. Evening and weekend appointments will also be available along with some Bank Holidays.
CDS regional operations director Helen Paisley said: "We are committed to offering excellent oral health care.
"Our ethos is to provide oral health care to ever more communities, and for local people this means access to a new service that will have family friendly care.
"We know there is a strong demand for this service and are delighted to be able to expand our services to reach the whole community.
"We are passionate about oral health for young children and we welcome families so they can have the best advice and treatment for them and their children."
CDS is a social enterprise and provides community dental services for much of eastern and central England.
Over the last 12 months, CDS provided more than 65,000 patient appointments.
CDS say they are committed to patient engagement and will be looking to shape the service with patient views.
The clinic at Johnson Community Hospital will run from three modern surgeries.
It will open 8am-8pm Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 8am-6.30pm Tuesdays; 8.30am-1pm Saturdays and 9am-12.30pm on alternate Sundays.
