THOUSANDS of people will now be able to make appointments at a new NHS dental surgery that is due to open in a north Suffolk town next month.
NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney has commissioned a practice in Southwold that will offer healthcare for more than 4,500 people.
It will open its doors on Thursday, August 6 and patients are being urged to book now.
Elaine Bond, head of contracting at NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney, said: 'Currently there is no adult provision to NHS dental health care in Southwold. This new practice is going to give a valuable service for families in the area and will provide additional access for patients in the Reydon and Southwold areas.'
The practice, at 43 The High Street, will be home to three dentists and will be open five days a week with a late night on a Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 9am to midday.
New patients wishing to book an appointment should call 01502 723379.
