NHS DOMICILIARY DENTAL CARE
Domiciliary dental care involves providing dental services to patients in their homes or residential care settings. This type of care is particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional dental clinics due to physical, cognitive, or emotional limitations.
Patients who commonly receive domiciliary dental care include the elderly, those with disabilities, or individuals with chronic illnesses.

Domiciliary Dental Care at Torrington Dental Practice
Torrington Dental Practice has a contract with NHS England to provide a domiciliary dental care service within the local area for patients who, due to illness, infirmity or disability are unable to attend the practice for appointments.
You or your dependents are visited by our dentist and dental nurse within your place of residence. This NHS service is delivered by our Domiciliary Team.
Being an NHS service, there are no additional fees for the domiciliary visit. You will, however, be required to pay the standard NHS dental charges unless proof of exemption is provided.
THE SESSION RUNS ONCE A WEEK.
10 AM – 16.00 pm
