Free Dental Treatment in London

Do your teeth need some attention?

If your teeth are suffering from a serious case of sugar overdose then register with the Dental Institute (a partnership of Guy’s and St Thomas’ and Kings College Hospitals) to receive free dental treatment. The undergraduate students (dentists-in-training) are able to perform various dental treatments as part of their training.

You may think it is mad to let somebody still training loose on your teeth but the work is checked regularly and the standards are very high. Here are a couple of things you should know beforehand:

#1 Treatment Covered

The treatments covered are simple fillings, basic gum treatment, some crowns, dentures and root canal fillings.

#2 Restrictions

You cannot already be registered with a dentist here in the UK.

#3 Be patient

The appointments take longer (up to an hour for what would normally be a 15min check-up) as the students work slower, so make sure that you are available for the whole time. You will also need to be available for all appointments if follow ups are required.

p.s You may be asked to sign consent for photographs and clinical notes to be published for further studies.

The waiting list is now open and the students need patients to practice on so register and save your pounds!
