THE High Street Dental Practice in Wellington is to shut at the end of the year.

It will no longer be providing NHS dental services from Friday, December 29, and it is proposed to close

The practice blames difficulties in recruiting dentists and ongoing running costs which have prevented the practice from operating sustainably.

A letter to patients says: “This decision has not been taken lightly and we are very sorry we are no longer able to provide NHS dental services at this practice."
