This petition was rejected

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.
