A BOSCOMBE dental practice has gone into liquidation.

Patients at Wootton Lodge in Christchurch Road are advised to contact 111 if they require a dentist urgently.

Officials from NHS England are working with other practices in the area to redirect patients who have appointments over the course of the coming weeks.

Those who do not need urgent treatment, as well as those who have an appointment soon, should find an alternative practice via nhs.uk

Dental practices are independent contractors to the NHS. Wootton Lodge provided both NHS and private dental treatment to its patients.

A spokesperson for NHS England (Wessex) said: “We apologise to patients who have been inconvenienced by the closure of the practice.

"A member of our team is working with staff and patients to help find them alternative treatment.”
