Dentist calls time on pub
15th Mar 2011
A new NHS dentist is to open its doors to 3,000 Stoke-on-Trent patients on 1 April – in an old pub.
The dental practice, run by Primecare Oral Health Services Limited, will replace the former New Phoenix pub on Liverpool Road, Stoke.
The new NHS dentist will be more than welcome in an area where many struggle to afford dental care.
It will provide a range of NHS services including checks-ups, full courses of treatment and oral health promotion.
The practice will open five days a week, Mondays to Fridays, from 8am to 6pm.
Two dentists and a team of dental nurses will be working at the practice which has been set up in the converted premises of the former New Phoenix pub, in the heart of the town.
NHS Stoke on Trent planning manager, Jeanette Sims, said: 'Stoke-on-Trent has one of the worst rates for decayed teeth in the West Midlands region and indeed the country so we need to do all we can to improve people's access to NHS dentistry in the city. The new practice in Stoke will help us do that.'
Sarah Campbell, operational director for Primecare Oral Health Services Limited, said: 'We are really pleased to be opening this new NHS dental facility in Stoke, in partnership with NHS Stoke on Trent. The practice will make it easier for people to get access to dental care they need and improve their oral health.'
Patients can register – and start to book appointments – at the new practice now by calling the dedicated registrations line on 0330 123 9134.
