 NHS dental treatment does not include cosmetic treatments that are not clinically necessary, such as teeth whitening. Cosmetic treatments like this are used to improve the appearance of your teeth and make them look more attractive, and are only available privately.

If you’re interested in having any cosmetic dental treatments, you can arrange an appointment with your dentist to discuss options.
