Student Dental Care in Coventry
Balancing lectures, exams, and social life can make it easy to overlook your oral health, but maintaining a healthy smile is essential. At Light Lane Dental Practice, we provide NHS dental care designed especially for students. Whether you’re based in Coventry for your studies or visiting from abroad, we offer accessible, affordable treatments to help you stay on top of your dental health throughout university or college.
What NHS Dental Care Are Students Entitled To?
If you’re aged under 19 and still in full-time education, you can receive free NHS dental treatment. This covers a wide selection of routine and restorative services aimed at protecting your oral health.
These NHS treatments are accessible to all eligible students (regardless of nationality), ensuring everyone receives the care they need while studying in the UK.
NHS Treatments for Students
- Dental check-ups: Regular examinations help identify early signs of dental issues and allow for preventative care.
- X-rays: Detailed diagnostic imaging is used to detect problems such as hidden decay or impacted teeth.
- Scale and polish: A professional clean removes plaque and tartar build-up, reducing the risk of gum disease.
- Fillings: Treatment for tooth decay to restore strength and prevent further damage.
- Dental crowns: Protective caps to reinforce teeth that are broken, heavily filled, or weakened.
- Urgent appointments: Emergency dental care is available to resolve pain, infections, or accidents swiftly.
