Charsfield Dental Practice and Rhos Cottage Dental Practice to return NHS contract  

04 October 2022

It is with regret that Charsfield Dental Practice in Cardigan and Rhos Cottage Dental Practice in Haverfordwest will cease providing NHS dental care on 22 November 2022. 

Hywel Dda University Health Board (UHB) is working closely with Eskimo Healthcare Group to provide patients who had previously received care at the Practice with information about their ongoing care, and the options available to them whilst the Health Board undertakes the process to identify a new service provider for the areas. 

The Practice will provide any urgent care that patients require until 22 November 2022 and will ensure completion of any treatment, including orthodontic extractions.

Jill Paterson, Director of Primary Care, Community and Long-Term Care for Hywel Dda UHB said: “The Health Board would like to thank patients for the support that they have given to Practice over the years and appreciates the concerns which patients may have at this time of uncertainty

“The Health Board is working to find a solution which secures NHS Dental services for the longer term.”

If you have any queries regarding   your appointment, please do not hesitate to contact the Practice. Following the Practice closure, patients who are experiencing dental pain should contact 111 to access an urgent access appointment which is available 7 days a week.
