Fund access to free dentistry through mobile dentists for people in care homes

What the petition asks
Many people in care homes do not have easy access to dentists because they are not mobile. Some prisoners get access to mobile dentists. I believe the Government should provide funding so all care home residents can have this, without residents or care homes having to pay.
Our elderly deserve the right to access a dentist when required. They should have access to free dentistry through a mobile service.
