Dental and Dentistry
Dentists range from single-handed businesses to national and international corporations. Some operate under contract with the NHS. Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board is now responsible for the commissioning of NHS dentists and dentistry services in our area.
This page aims to guide people in Derby and Derbyshire to relevant services or support. Much of the information links to national websites.
