Re introduce nhs dentists
Help families with dental costs with most dentists going private and the cost of living going up people are having to choose between dental hygiene or putting food in the fridge.
Especially children having dental care on the nhs
Dentist treatment is so expensive a family of 4 for example it would cost £200 for just a check up with food prices averaging £100 a week for a family of 4 people are having to make that choice of either putting food on the table or having a check up and then what comes after the check up and treatment required if people don’t have the money they are getting into debt by having treatment done
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the cost of dental treatment, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Dental services are already provided through the NHS. Most people pay dental charges for NHS dental treatment, which you can find out about here: www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/dentists/dental-costs/how-much-will-i-pay-for-nhs-dental-treatment/
If you are concerned about the availability of NHS dentists, we have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Increase funding to ensure all adults and children have access to a dentist: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/625518
If you want the Government to fund free dental treatment for NHS patients we could accept a petition requesting that.
