Toothpick is the UK's first nationwide online dental appointment booking service, letting users find, compare and book local dentists. Toothpick.com will roll out across the UK this year and so far over 1,000 dentists have booked in 20,000 dental appointments online.

Toothpick has created an online directory of UK dentists, allowing people to find local providers, compare price and service and book online. It offers people cost savings, convenience and better service in their dental bookings and can even be used to find emergency appointments. Users can also choose whether they want to search for NHS or private practices, giving them the broadest possible choice of provider.

Toothpick has been developed in partnership with Henry Schein, the world's largest provider of healthcare products to dental practitioners, meaning that it is safe, secure and reliable. The product is closely integrated with the company's dental appointment scheduling software, which is in use by more than 10,000 dentists across the UK.

Toothpick operates a subscription model for dentists, charging them a low monthly fee to be featured on the service. It gives dentists access to new patients and can help to fill empty, late notice appointment slots.
