Corrections Regulations 2005, reg 81
You’ll have the right to receive dental care if you need urgent treatment or to relieve pain.
Also, if you’ve looked after your teeth before arriving in prison you’re entitled to treatment to maintain a reasonable standard of dental health – this is explained in more detail below.
If you want to see a dentist you should tell your PCO. You’ll need to put your name down on the waiting list for dental care within your unit; this waiting list is usually a lot longer than for seeing a doctor or nurse – sometimes months rather than days. If your dental problem is causing you a lot of pain, you should talk to your PCO about this.
