Increase funding to ensure all adults in England have access to an NHS dentist

What the petition asks
The Government should increase funding for NHS dental services to ensure that all adults in England can easily register with a local NHS dentist.
We are all entitled to NHS dental care but many just can’t access it. If we phone dentists they are often only taking private patients. This is unacceptable.
