Increase funding to ensure all adults and children have access to a dentist.

Closed 2,131 signatures

What the petition asks

I cannot find a dentist with capacity to take my family on (after existing practice closed). This is unacceptable. There are no NHS places and even private schemes have waiting lists (and unaffordable one off registration fees).
The Government must review how dentistry is funded and run. The current situation is a disaster.
