We are pleased to share the new name for our community dental services: North West Community Dental Service.
This name helps show that our dental teams support people across a wide area – not just in Warrington and Halton, but also across Cheshire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.
Our goal is to make sure everyone knows who we are and how to get our help. The new name makes it easier for people from all areas to recognise our NHS dental service and feel confident when they are referred to us.
Having one clear name also helps avoid confusion, especially for patients who live outside the local area of our main organisation.
