Dh has trouble getting out if the house and desperately needs to be seen by a dentist.

Has anyone had this service and how does it work.

I’ll be grateful for any advice and experiences

Thankyou .

Ring his dentist and ask him what is available

I think you need to contact your GP, or his existing dentist, to get a referral to the NHS Community Dental Service. They have mobile equipment, and will treat housebound people. It’s an excellent service, the dentists are fully qualified, and specialise in treating people with various disabilities who can’t access normal dental services.
