About this pathway

A waiting-list pathway for routine NHS care interest

This free pathway is for people seeking to join an NHS dental waiting list. It is not an urgent NHS dental emergency service and submitting a request does not guarantee acceptance by a practice, an appointment or NHS treatment.

Odenta is a platform, not a dental practice or treatment provider. Participating practices control their own NHS capacity, eligibility checks, appointment offers and clinical care.
