Rejected petition Keep NHS dentists, no more privatisation

Not everyone has the financial ability to pay for dental care, even working class families struggle to make ends meet.
Oral hygiene and care is important, so no one should sit and suffer just because they can't afford the extortionate prices.

More details

I have spent 1 month with a terribly painful infection in my gum around a wisdom tooth, unable to find an NHS dental practice, or even a practice taking on NHS patients. I'm a single mother without financial/physical help from the father, so my money is very tight. If I'm not in good health, how can I look after my son?
