Change the law to guarantee NHS dental care for residents in England

Closed 722 signatures

What the petition asks

The law should be changed to guarantee that all residents in England can have adequate access to a local NHS dentist.
Many people in England cannot afford to pay for private dentistry. Since the start of the first lockdown, it can be very difficult for many people to get a dental appointment, even for those already registered with a dentist, and it can be difficult for many others to find or make a new registration with a NHS dentist. It's time the government shows that we, the people of this country who pay our taxes, matter.
