Dental problems
The surgery cannot help with problems with your teeth and gums. We recommend seeing a dentist instead.
GPs cannot provide dental care
NHS dental services
Dentists are open for routine and urgent treatments.
Treatment may be free if you meet the eligibility criteria.
You will get seen sooner if your condition is urgent.
Smile Together
Half of all people in Cornwall don’t see a dentist so Smile Together are working with NHS England to improve this as poor oral health frequently leads to and exacerbates other long-term health conditions
