Chandlers Lane Dental Practice Ltd
52 Front Street, Brampton, Cumbria, CA8 1NT
Brampton's public record is small but unusually specific: the town's one general practice, on Front Street, was listed at our last check of nhs.uk as accepting new NHS patients — but children aged 17 or under only. That's a real door for families, and a closed one for adults, which is exactly the kind of distinction this register exists to surface rather than blur. The board below shows what nhs.uk currently reports; our phone verification sweep will confirm the position directly with the practice, including whether an adult waiting list exists.

Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm. This is the booking line for the urgent dental access centres — you do not need to be registered with a dentist.
Outside those hours, call 111 — free, 24 hours.
NHS 111 triages dental problems around the clock, and is the out-of-hours route in both halves of the county.
Urgent NHS treatment costs £27.90 — one charge, whatever the urgent treatment is.
Carlisle Urgent Dental Access Centre
Cumbria Health — 4 Wavell Drive, Carlisle CA1 2SE
Whitehaven Urgent Dental Access Centre
S J Smith & Associates — 3 Scotch Street, Whitehaven CA28 7BL
9am–5pm Monday to Friday
Neither centre provides routine dental care — they deal with the urgent problem and send you back to a general practice for anything else.
The Whitehaven centre is hosted at S J Smith & Associates, which is also a general practice in this register. Being seen there urgently is not the same as being taken on as an NHS patient.

Brampton serves the Irthing valley and the villages along the A69 — Lanercost, Gilsland and out towards the Northumberland border. For adult NHS access the practical answer is Carlisle, nine miles west, with the county's biggest choice of practices; Haltwhistle's practice over the border also appears on nhs.uk, listed for children only. The town practice is central, on Front Street.
NHS charges are the same everywhere in England: £27.90 for a Band 1 course (examination, X-rays, advice), £76.60 for Band 2 (fillings, extractions, root canal) and £332.10 for Band 3 (crowns, dentures, bridges). You pay one charge per course — the highest band only. Private prices vary by practice.
Per nhs.uk at our last check: children aged 17 or under, yes; adults, no listing. See the dated status above — and ring the practice to ask about adult waiting lists, because listings lag reality in both directions.
Ring North Cumbria Dental Direct on 01228 603900, monday to friday, 8am–5pm. This part of Cumbria uses the North Cumbria urgent dental system, and that line books the urgent dental access centres. Outside those hours, call 111.
That's what the listing says — the Front Street practice was shown as accepting new NHS child patients (17 or under) at our last check. Children's NHS dental care is free.
Carlisle is the realistic answer — nine miles, and every practice there is tracked on this site with a dated status. The urgent route via 111 works from Brampton regardless.
