Our dental services have also grown to include domiciliary dental care, together with the Lancashire and South Cumbria Dental Helpline. Every year our dental services manage up to:
We are proud to have an enthusiastic multidisciplinary team of Dentists, Dental Nurses, Receptionists and experienced leaders and managers, all working hard to deliver the best possible dental care
All of our dental services benefit from well-established links to partners across Lancashire and South Cumbria, which means patients can move seamlessly across services as needed

We provide assistance to Emergency dental patients in our Out of Hours service with severe pain, swelling and/or dental traumas

The FCMS Domiciliary Dental provision has evolved over the years, and is a valuable service for patients who cannot access NHS dental care in a typical surgery setting
Our specialised team go out into the community providing essential care to patients either in their own home or in a residential care facility
This service is for a specific cohort of patients, so to ensure those patients most in need are seen quickly and effectively, we need to apply certain eligibility criteria
