General Dental Service

The NHS General Dental Service (GDS) is usually the first point of contact that patients have with dental treatment. Patients register with an NHS General Dentist (a "High Street dentist") to receive the full range of NHS treatment provided by dentists who are independent contractors working on behalf of the local NHS Boards. There are also a number of salaried dentists working in the GDS, who provide an alternative service to the contracted General Dental Practitioners in order to meet the needs of the local population.

There are three main areas of information within the GDS that information is published.
