A new NHS dental practice in Stoke-on-Trent is set to open its doors from the start of April.
The Liverpool Road Dental Practice will launch on April 1 at the site of the former New Phoenix pub and will offer 3,000 local patients the chance to sign up for NHS dental care .
Two dentists and a team of dental nurses will work to provide a range of NHS services, including check-ups and full courses of dental treatment, as well as oral health promotion.
The surgery, which will be operated by Primecare Oral Health Services, will open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Jeanette Sims, planning manager for NHS Stoke-on-Trent, 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 peoples 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 ."
