Update December 2024: HIOW Dental Bus
Patients experiencing health inequalities and who struggle to access NHS dental care can book appointments for New Patient examinations starting from February 2025 onwards.
Dentaid charity works in partnership with NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight to reduce pressure on existing dental services and increase access to care for people facing difficult circumstances. Patients who can receive support include families experiencing poverty, people at risk of homelessness, those who are vulnerable, children, and new and expectant mothers in areas at highest risk of poor dental health.
Here is an update on the support that Dentaid has provided across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight between February and November 2024

We've heard all slots for the Dentaid dental bus are taken and appointments will not be available for another 6 to 8 weeks. We have requested for more slots to be made available. In the meantime, please contact 111 if in emergency.
