Properly fund the dental industry and make them take on NHS patients.
Ensure that dentists are taking on NHS patients. The dentists will only take on private patients as they are not paid enough to undertake NHS work.
The dental industry must be changed.
Every working person pays national insurance contributions that fund the NHS, yet when a person requires dental treatment through the NHS it is inaccessible.
The NHS dentistry is important to everyone that does not have the means to pay for private treatment.
Why is it that only people that have the means to pay for private treatment are able to have healthy teeth?
