Ask your local PCT loudly and often for a list of dentists which are registered with the NHS because you don't want want to inadvertently be a participant in a fraud against the NHS.

When that fails ask them to indemnify you against any action for being a participant in dispensing dental NHS prescriptions that the dentists aren't entitled to issue.

That at least that was the route that worked in my patch.

When I asked under the FOI act the PPA did not know how many prescriptions have been dispensed against scripts from dentists that do not have an NHS contract.
