Rejected petition Stop dentists closing their books for nhs patients and having to re-register

If an nhs patient doesnt routinely see a dentist they get removed from the surgery and made to re-register, the problem is that dentists are closing their books to nhs patients so we have nowhere to go, if we cannot afford private care

More details

Low earning people/families need to be able to access dental care as and when they need it.
