Littlehampton dental patients shocked as practice closes suddenly
Dental patients in Littlehampton have been left in shock by the sudden closure of a local dental practice.
Beach Road Dental Care closed without warning recently, but patients have been advised not to panic. A spokesperson for NHS England South confirmed that the practice had shut, as it was no longer able to provide care for the local community. Plans have been put in place to ensure that patients suffer minimal disruption, and patients who are currently undergoing treatment courses will be transferred to local practices to continue treatment as a priority. All patients who have been affected by the closure have been sent a letter detailing arrangements for the future.
Patients who were registered at the practice and were not undergoing treatment at the time of closure are advised to contact the dental helpline on 0300 123 1663 or visit the NHS Choices website to find local services. All you have to do is call the helpline and ask for advice or log on and enter the name of the town or your postcode, and you will be able to find information about practices in the area that are accepting new patients.
