A Haverfordwest dental practice will cease providing NHS dental care next month.

Hywel Dda University Heath Board has confirmed that Rhos College Dental Practice will no longer offer an NHS service from November 22.

Charsfield Dental Practice in Cardigan will also cease providing NHS dental care from the same date.

The health board says it is working closely with Eskimo Healthcare Group to provide patients who had previously received care at the practice with information about their ongoing care, and the options available to them whilst the health board undertakes the process to identify a new service provider for the areas. 

The Haverfordwest Practice will provide any urgent care that patients require until 22 November 2022 and will ensure completion of any treatment, including orthodontic extractions.
