What the petition asks

To explore all available options, including legislation to enable all U.K. citizens have access to NHS Dental Services facilitated by changes to the licence to Practice Dentistry within the United Kingdom.

U.K. Dentists are seemingly unwilling to provide NHS services with most switching to the more profitable Private Sector and it is fast becoming a national health emergency. Make it a legal obligation on all Dentists who wish to train and/or be granted a licence to practice Dentistry in the U.K. to provide a minimum level of services to NHS Patients.
