The Peterborough neighbourhoods with the best access to dentists

Signing up for a dentist has become increasingly difficult in recent years.

Many residents have been unable to sign up for an NHS dentist – leaving them with little option but to go for a private option – with the extra costs that are associated with it.

Now new data has revealed which areas of Peterborough are closest to a dentist – and which has the furthest drive.

Residents in Peterborough are actually closer, on average, to a dentist than the English average. People in the city face a 2.23 minute drive, while the average for England is 2.35.
