Hello everyone,

Thanks to this site, I was having visitor visa in the UK and one of my tooth was broken accidently . As I couldn't find any private dental centre around my living place , I called NHS 111 , and they appoint the detal service for me , which is An urgent dental treatment , paid £23.80 . However that's the NHS detal services , I'm concerned that would affect my further application to the visa because of the medial treatment questsion . What should I do now?

Thanks so much and I appreciate all your response

You paid for the treatment - no issues at all.

But I'm afraid that I used the NHS and Im not treated as a private patient

You will need to pay for some things such as eye tests, dental treatment and prescriptions, just like people who live in England.

Prescription costs and dental charges

Patients in England are required to make contributions towards the cost of their NHS care, such as paying prescription costs or dental charges. You will be required to make the same contributions.

does that mean I'm okay?

do I need to mention that in my application ? or just ignore it?

You should certainly declare it but it’s not going to cause you issues. Emergency treatment is free for all including visitors so you paid the appropriate fee.

if you visited a doctor, clinic or hospital, this counts as having medical treatment

I am not sure but dentist seems doesn't count ?

You’re overthinking it but if it doesn’t count then you still have nothing to worry about it.

You had emergency treatment by an NHS dentist. On another forum you said you told them you were a visitor; he told you you had a chipped tooth.....if that's all you had then paying 25 GBP is about right......
