Rejected petition Make NHS Dentistry treatment a priority for all.
Our NHS dentist has gone to the private sector, we are unable to get treatment until our practice finds another. We are still on their list but how likely is it we will get another NHS dentist?
More details
The reasons I have seen for the chaos in NHS dentistry seem to be all pay related. I am on a local forum, their are many stories similar to mine:
*Cancelled appointments.
*Poor treatment.
*Inability to find an open NHS list.
*Being told your NHS registered dentist has left the practise to work privately.
Most issues I have seen, seem to stem from the massive gap between their earnings in the private sector and what they receive as an NHS dentist.
People health is being negatively impacted!
