Hi

Haven't been on this forum for a while hope your all OK!

You may remember you helped us out some time ago with advice for obtaining our 2 year Unmarried Partner Visa, which is a typr of settlment visa. At the end of this visa we will be applying for ILR and then citzinship.

Anyway, Joo has a filling that has dropped out and I'm wondering where we stand on dental treatment, can Joo visit the local dentist and have treatment without paying? What do we need to do?

Joo is registered with the local doctor, has a medical card and National Insurance number.

Any advice would be appreicated.

Get registered with NHS dentist and take it from there.

Although we generally get as much work as we all can when we are in Thailand. Just personal preference


Good Luck

Waiting to get registered is obviously the better option, but it isn't much help if you're actually already in pain! Is that the case? If so, there are a few 'walk-in' dentists around who will treat you immediately and without an appointment, but obviously, you'll have to pay for it. Just ring around in your phone book.

A dentist of this kind could sort the immediate problem whilst you're waiting for the NHS one. Just a thought.

Take the medical card to your local NHS dentist and get an appointment (if they are registering NHS patients that is)
