Petition Action

Address the crisis in NHS dentistry.

Petition Details

We call on the Secretary of State for Health to make an immediate intervention to address the crisis in NHS Dentistry & prevent further worsening of health inequality in the UK.
People in pain & some with potentially serious health problems are waiting weeks & months to see an emergency dentist.

Additional Information

Emergency & preventative dentistry is a fundamental healthcare provision: playing a critical role in preventing serious & potentially life threatening conditions eg bone infection, sepsis & oral cancer. In much of the UK there are now no NHS dentists operating nor NHS appointments available, even for those lucky enough to be registered with a dentist. Meanwhile private appointments are available but only to those who can afford it. We call on the Secretary of State to take immediate action now.
