Make dentist check ups and all necessary treatments free on the NHS

Closed 51 signatures

What the petition asks

If I go to a doctor for a check up or with a problem it doesn't cost me anything. Yet if I go to the dentist I have to pay. If I break my arm or need an operation I don't need to pay for it. If I break my tooth or need something done to my teeth I need to pay.
I work hard and pay my national insurance. I should not need to pay for NHS dentists. If I received certain benefits I could get the dentist for free, but as always regular hard working people of the country who don’t qualify for benefits have to pay for everything. Your teeth are important, it's part of your health and can cause major problems if there is something wrong. Nobody should not need to pay to be seen or treated by a dentist on the NHS!
