Devon and Cornwall Dental Helpline
We are commissioned by NHS England Area Team to provide a dental helpline for Devon and Cornwall. The dental helpline gives advice to people on where to find an NHS dentist, and how to access dental care in an emergency. The service is provided by the efficient and friendly Health Access Team, based in our Exeter call centre.
