We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Fund regular in-school dental health check-ups for children
I’d like for a dentist to visit schools yearly, to check pupils teeth, many visit schools now but just hand out a tooth brush and explain how to brush teeth, I’d like the dentist to actually check the pupils teeth so that a child is gaining access to free dental care
More details
children need a dentist, their teeth are growing and forming, and although it isn’t a solution, at least it would have given a bit of peace of mind to a parent knowing that once a year the school would have a dentist visit and check their teeth and refer them if they thought they needed further investigation or get them treatment if needed
Children should get free dental care.teeth are growing,mouths are forming,this is something that could affect them for life
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
