This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about who private dental practices treat are a matter for individual practices, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
