What the petition asks
Make dental treatments and procedures more affordable for uni students, make them accessible.
As an undergraduate student, I’ve had significant problems with my teeth, this has been ongoing for 5 months now, in this time I’ve not so much as been able to find a dentist let alone afford a first consultation as a financially struggling student
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
