The Salaried Dental Service provides both an Urgent Care service through its Dental Access Centres and a Special Care Dental Service. The Dental Access Centres are available to anyone who resides in the Devon area, who does not have a regular general dental practitioner (NHS or Private). It is also open to visitors to the area who are unable to reach their own dentist.

Also helps people with a disability and children who are unable to obtain treatment from a general dental practitioner because of their special needs. Referral only from health and social care professionalsl.

The service is not available to people who already have a general dental practitioner in the Devon area.  Appointments are booked for patients through the Access Centres or through the Devon Dental Helpline one day ahead. Patients are either given an allotted time or attend on a first come first seen basis. 

Although urgent appointments are available this is not a drop-in service. You must telephone the service to make an appointment in advance.

Normal NHS dental charges will apply for all patients unless you are exempt, (evidence of which must be brought to your appointment). We accept cash or cheque at the time of your appointment.
