Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Since you started this petition, the Government has updated their guidance to say all non-urgent dental treatment should stop.

If you would like the Government to take further measures than this, including banning emergency treatments if they involve aerosol, you could start a petition asking for that to happen.
