An NHS check-up in England is £27.90. That is Band 1, and it is the same at every NHS dentist. A private check-up has no set price, so ask the dentist for their price list.
Yes, many people can. In England it is free if you are under 18, pregnant, or had a baby in the last year. Certain benefits make it free too. Not sure if you qualify? See our guides to free dental treatment, dental care for over 60s and PIP and dental treatment.
There is no fixed sign-up, like there is with a GP. Call the dentist you want, say NHS or private, and they take your details at your first visit. You can register your child at the same time, and children's NHS care is free.
No. There are no catchment areas for dentists. You can register with any dentist that has space, wherever you live.
