Lodge Causeway Dental Centre, in Fishponds, will open for in-person and telephone registrations for new patients on Saturday.

“We're pleased to offer an opportunity for new NHS patients from our local community to register with us, in response to the ongoing high demand for NHS dental care in the area,” a practice owner said.

“To ensure we can manage enquiries efficiently and continue to provide uninterrupted service to our existing patients, we've chosen to open our appointment books for new registrations on one dedicated Saturday.”

In July, Lodge Causeway opened up thousands of new appointments for NHS patients, but only for those experiencing pain or urgent dental problems.

Now, thanks to taking on board three new dentists, the practice is able to expand that to register new patients for ongoing care.
