Answer
The HSCNI Service Finder currently lists 378 dental practices in Northern Ireland. The Service Finder can be accessed at: https://online.hscni.net/hsc-service-finder/
The number of dental practices listed in the HSCNI Service Finder does not include a small cohort of practices which have no Health Service commitment whatsoever.
Unfortunately, the Department of Health is unable to hold and maintain a list of dental practices which are no longer accepting new Health Service patients.
