FUND NHS DENTISTRY NOW!
Properly fund NHS dentistry NOW so everyone can access crucial dental care!
Why is this important?
NHS dentistry is at breaking point. Millions of us are still struggling to access affordable dental care and ‘dental deserts’ are leaving so many without access to critical treatment, all while costs keep going up.
Hundreds of desperate people in Bristol - including pensioners and pregnant women - recently queued for hours just for a chance to see an NHS dentist because they had no other way of accessing basic oral health checks. That’s not good enough.
A decade of cuts has left a £1.5 billion funding gap, with current funding only enough for half the population to get an NHS dentist. While the Government has committed to reform, it must be backed up by real investment.
With NHS dentistry, you get what you pay for. It is essential healthcare. Fix it now!
