NHS dentists on Hayling Island
Two dental practices on Hayling Island are listed on nhs.uk (checked 5 October 2026). On that date the Appointments page of each said: "This dentist has not confirmed if they currently accept new NHS patients for routine dental care." That is not the same as "full", so it is worth ringing.

How to find an NHS dentist when your nearest is not taking patients
The NHS says you can contact any NHS dentist and ask for an appointment, and some practices offer both NHS and private appointments, so ask for an NHS one. You may be asked to join a waiting list, and filling in a registration form does not guarantee future NHS care at that practice. If you cannot find an NHS dentist, the NHS says you can contact your local integrated care board (ICB), which manages dental services in your area and may be able to tell you where to get an appointment. For Hayling Island that is NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB. See how to find an NHS dentist.
Use the NHS dentist finder to search PO11 and then widen to nearby towns, since practices on the mainland may show different availability.
Urgent and emergency dental care
NHS guidance on finding an emergency or urgent NHS dentist: ask a dentist for an urgent appointment or get advice from NHS 111 if, for example, you have a knocked-out tooth, severe tooth or mouth pain not helped by painkillers, swelling in your mouth, or have had a tooth removed and are bleeding or in severe pain. You can call 111 or use 111 online. The NHS says you should be offered urgent dental treatment within 24 hours or 7 days depending on your symptoms, and emergency care within 1 hour, or as soon as possible, for a knocked-out adult tooth.
Go to A&E or call 999 for serious facial or jaw injuries, heavy mouth bleeding that will not stop, or severe swelling affecting breathing or opening your eyes. See our urgent care guide.
A pharmacist can also advise on painkillers while you wait for an appointment (see our pharmacy guide).
What NHS dental treatment costs
Most adults pay for NHS dental care. As shown on nhs.uk on 5 October 2026, there are three bands: Band 1 £27.90 (check-up, advice, X-rays if needed), Band 2 £76.60 (includes fillings, root canal treatment and extractions) and Band 3 £332.10. Some people can get free treatment or help with costs, see the NHS page for who qualifies. Charges change, so check the page before you go.
