Dentists across England are currently in the bleakest situation they have ever been in. Impacted by the COVID pandemic, and now unable to keep pace with demand, meaning many people are suffering poor oral health.
There are hundreds of thousands of people across the country that are simply unable to access dental care. This is mainly due to huge waiting lists for NHS patients, and most dentists ceasing to take on new patients. 

BUT! There is something wrong with the system… private dental treatments are readily available! This is wrong, this is causing many hundreds of thousands of people to resort to going into debt to get treatment, or even worse, resorting to removing teeth when they could of been saved, some even removing their own teeth at home. 

There needs to be a dentistry reform in England whereby more NHS slots are offered up for people who cannot afford the higher prices of private care. There needs to be more access for immediate and free dental care in emergencies, so that people aren’t forced to extract their own teeth.
Private dentist practices need to be encouraged and paid fairer by the NHS to take more NHS patients to help ease the oral health crisis. The NHS contract for dentists needs to change, and change for the better!

If dentistry isn’t opened up to more people the current 12+ month waiting lists will double and millions of people will have poor oral health. England which was once a world leader of healthcare will fall well short in the modern world! Sign and share for more dentists now.
