title: An open-access dental practice.
abstract: The DoH funded a drop-in dental practice in inner-city Salford for 12 months. Its aim was to increase accessibility and availability of dental services to people not registered with a dentist. It operated on a no-appointment basis and priority was given to those in pain and/or on their initial visit.
