A new dental centre has opened in Bootle that will make NHS treatment available to hundreds more local residents over the coming years. Sefton Dental Centre is based on the ground floor of the newly developed Investment Centre on Stanley Road , close to Bootle New Strand and it will be home to two practices.
 Barry Ventre and Martin Kelly Barry and Elizabeth Ventre are relocating their existing practice at Knowsley Road to Sefton Dental Centre from Tuesday 27th April, while Martin Kelly opens his new practice on Tuesday 4th May. Martin said: “Taking good care of your teeth is just as important for your body as eating well and being active. Getting a regular check up and advice is another way of helping you stay healthy, no matter what your age. “There are lots of places where you can book a dental appointment in and around Bootle , and our practice offers even more opportunities for you to get high quality dental care close to where you live.” Barry said: “We are delighted with our new home. The centre is modern, bright and really inviting - quite different than what many people expect when they go to the dentists. We have tried to make it a really pleasant place to be, not just for our patients but our staff as well.” NHS Sefton has supported the development of Sefton Dental Centre. Bernie Hartley , Head of Primary Care, says the new facility will be a great asset for Bootle residents. “The availability of dental appointments in Sefton is better than most other areas of the country. It is great to see the centre up and running, offering even more people in Bootle high quality dental care.” Access to dental care in Sefton is amongst the best in the country.
