NHS dental changes in April

The government today announced that NHS dental changes would go up from 1 April by 2.39%

The increase is below the 3% inflation rate, but NHS dental charges deter many from seeking help due to cost of living pressures. We also advocate for better promotion of NHS healthcare cost assistance.

The exact increases are listed by bands below:

• Band 1 and urgent care, will go up from £26.80 to £27.40

• Band 2, up from £73.50 to £75.30

• Band 3 from £319.10 to £326.70
