I’ve just been to collect a prescription for duraphat toothpaste and the pharmacy wants to charge me £55 they said this is because it was a private prescription ( not with a nhs dentist) can anyone help or give me info on wether this is something I need to pay for? Or is there another way to get this?

thanks Clare

Hi Clare

You should be able to get this on prescription from your GP. The hospital restorative dentist had to contact my GP to request this for me before they would prescribe it.

Hope this helps.

Clare, If you run into opposition then tell your GP that he has special dispensation to prescribe a dental preparation for HNC patients who do not have access to an NHS dentist
