Common questions from students
Can I register if I’m only in York during term time?
Yes, plenty of our student patients are only local for part of the year. We’ll work appointments around your term dates, and can flag anything that needs attention before you head home.
Do I need to be registered with a GP first?
No, dental registration is separate from your GP. You can register with us directly, whether or not you’ve registered with a doctor in York yet.
What if I already have a dentist back home?
That’s fine, you’re not tied to one dentist. Many students register with us locally for convenience and keep their home dentist for holiday visits.
What do I do in a dental emergency?
Call us directly on 01904 904 500. We offer same-day emergency appointments for registered and new patients alike — see our emergency dentist page for more.
