NHS dentists in Croydon

NHS dental practices in Croydon

The practices that have seen the most NHS patients come first: adults in the last 2 years and children in the last year, added together. That is how much NHS work a practice does, not a grade of its care.

Whether a practice is taking new NHS patients changes week to week and is not in the open data we use. Each practice sets it on the NHS website, so every practice here links there.

How many people in Croydon see an NHS dentist

40.8% of adults living in Croydon saw an NHS dentist in the 2 years to June 2026 (130,082 people). England: 40.0%.

52.8% of children saw an NHS dentist in the year to June 2026 (48,357). England: 58.3%.

People are counted where they live, whichever NHS dentist they went to. Adults are counted over 2 years and children over 1, as the NHS counts them.

How to get an NHS dentist

• Ask any NHS practice. You do not register with a dentist the way you do with a GP: contact a practice and ask for an NHS appointment. Some keep a waiting list.
• Need help urgently? Any NHS dentist can offer you urgent treatment, even if they are not taking new patients. Phone a practice, or call NHS 111.
• Cannot find one? Contact your local integrated care board (ICB): it runs dental services in Croydon.
• What it costs. Most adults pay one of three NHS charges; children and some adults pay nothing. See NHS dental charges.
