    Ya just Google nhs dentist for your area.
    It will probably take weeks to get an appointment unless its an emergency.

    When you call for a booking say you want an nhs appointment or they will assume private.

    The prices are on an nhs website somewhere.

    My dentist only does private appointments on a Sat, I imagine most others are the same. It's £34 vs £17 for a checkup & approx £50 for a clean - not sure how these prices compare to others.

    My dentist was £17 on the NHS - included check up and loads of x rays but not cleaning. Had no problem getting an appointment on a Saturday. Cleaning is £45

    As long as you have an NHS number you can get an NHS price at most dentists (£17 for check and clean as was mentioned earlier). You do have to have that NHS number as far as I know-girl in work had to register with a GP before she could register as an NHS patient in a dentist's.
