Dentists providing NHS treatment are listed online, with practices expected to keep their details up to date on the health service's website.

The Bracknell News analysed nearly 100 records for practices across Berkshire and found fewer than 15 were listed as accepting all NHS patients without a referral.

Unlike GP services, dental patients can sign up to practices outside of their home area.

It comes after ministers warned people are resorting to DIY dentistry because they are unable to get NHS care for their teeth.

Labour MP Cat Smith told the Commons that one constituent had even placed teeth he had pulled from his mouth on the table in front of her as they met to discuss delays in dental care.

The Health Secretary added the Government had “put in an additional £50 million of funds into NHS dental services” at the start of the year, which “boosted dental capacity by creating 350,000 extra appointments”.
