Reinstate NHS dentist contracts with dental surgeries
Times are tough right now and getting a dentist appointment is a basic right, in my area, there are no NHS dentist appointments within a 50 mile radius
I pay national insurance and have done since I was 16, dental check ups are part of basic needs and should be available on the NHS, just like doctor appointments. I should not have to pay a stupid amount for mouth hygiene. I have been with a NHS dentist since I was born, but they have now decided to become private only and finding another NHS appointment is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is an operational decision for the NHS.
We could accept a petition calling for increased funding for NHS dental places, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
