Rejected petition Reopen Dentists in the UK to the general public
Parliament needs to recognise Dentists are needed as doctors are needed and still operational in these current affairs. I propose that Dentists to reopen and become operational with PPE and with safety precautions in place to maximise prevention of the coronavirus.
More details
People are suffering without treatment available in effect. The emergency dental services do not accept many other dental problems and procedures at the moment and this is causing the general public to take matters into their own hands. This will continue unless necessary steps forward can be made.
