You have the power to change how NHS dentistry works
Your MP & MSP represents your views in parliament. If you have struggled to access an NHS dentist and you are unhappy about it, then write to your MP & MSP and tell them so they can make a change.

Writing to your MP & MSP is easier than than you think – just as easy as filling out a form. All you need to know is your postcode.

We have some suggestions for what you could say:

Tell them about the problems you have experienced trying to access an NHS dentist
Tell them you will be voting for a party that promises to improve access to good quality and affordable NHS dentistry
Ask them to publish some detail about their party’s policy on NHS dentistry
Ask them why practices are closing and cannot recruit NHS dentists or see more patients where you live
Ask them why we don’t currently have all of our water supply fluoridated, when water fluoridation is a proven effective, cheap and safe way to reduce dental decay for everyone
Ask them why if cigarette packets have to warn about cancer and gum disease, that sugary food and drink do not have to warn about tooth decay
Ask them why its cheaper to buy unhealthy and sugary edible food-like substances than it is to buy nutritious fruit and vegetables
Tell them what you want from NHS dentistry

EMERGENCY DENTIST available privately.
PHONE 419328 0r 728109
For a very limited time we can offer an emergency appointment for £50 to unregistered patients. Since 1954 we were able to see new NHS patients on an urgent basis. This came to an end in November 2021 as we couldn't cope with the numbers of patients from outside our practices being unable to see their usual dentist. Today we have had many cancellations so are available at a reduced rate. If you wish NHS treatment phone the dentist you last saw and if that doesn't work phone 111.

NHS dentistry is an underfunded system combining with a recruitment crisis and rapidly rising costs and wages. Dentists who worked proudly for the NHS for decades no longer see a future there. https://www.facebook.com/thebritishdentalassociation/videos/391127452947388/
