Increase funding to ensure all children in England have access to an NHS dentist

Petition Details

I think the Government needs to increase funding for NHS dentistry to ensure that all children have access to a local NHS dentist. Children should be accepted at any NHS dentist regardless of waiting lists or places available.

Additional Information

I have recently been in the position where I have had to fund private dental care for myself and my children. I called around every dentist in my local area. None of which are currently taking on NHS dental patients. Dentists didn't even have waiting lists to be added on to. However, they were all more than happy for me to pay for private care and be seen within a week. I don't believe that children should be put on waiting lists for NHS dental care. They should be accepted automatically.
