    SSP is not an automatic exemption from NHS dental charges.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    You ll have to pay on Thursday no matter what. If you are on long term sick leave you could pick up a hc1 exemption form to see if you qualify for some help with costs and claim back if you do.
