Rejected petition Bring back full Dental Treatment on the NHS

NHS dentists are only allowed to do check ups and extractions to ensure patient safety and prevent the spread of Covid 19 but these same dentists can offer all other treatments privately.

More details

This would appear to be bringing in private dental care by the back door. Patients have to end up toothless if they are unable to pay the large amounts involved.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Dentists have been allowed to reopen for non-urgent treatment since 8 June. Decisions about the services being provided by individual dentists is a matter for individual dental practices, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
