An enormous queue has formed outside a dentist after it announced it will take on thousands of new NHS patients.
The Lodge Causeway Dental Centre, in Fishponds, Bristol, revealed it had hired three more dentists to cope with demand.
The dentist previously opened up thousands of new appointments for NHS patients in July, but only for those experiencing pain or urgent dental problems.
Now, the dentist has hired three extra dentists, and a spokesperson estimates they could take on as many as 3,000 new patients.
A practice owner said: 'We're pleased to offer an opportunity for new NHS patients from our local community to register with us, in response to the ongoing high demand for NHS dental care in the area.
