People in the UK are no longer able to find an NHS dentist. They're pulling their own teeth. Can you imagine?
I had to go private to get what I needed.

It’s a message we keep hearing: tweaks at the margins will not save NHS dentistry.
@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social rightly noted this service is at death’s door.
But we are yet to see changes capable of resuscitating the patient.

Today I joined Alice Macdonald MP, Jess Asato MP, and Prof. Philip Baker at the launch of the Creating Dental Oasis report in Parliament.
Training dentists in Norfolk and getting more to relocate here is essential if we want to fix access locally.

Dentists this morning, great fun, not. Lucky to have a great dentist who's fast and efficient.
But the pain in the wallet vastly exceeds the pain in the mouth.
How did we let #nhsdentistry just slip away?

Thousands across the South Cotswolds can’t get an NHS dentist. Some are turning to DIY dentistry or going without care at all. It’s heart-breaking - and avoidable.
I've written to the Health Secretary urging urgent action to rebuild the dental workforce.📬

South Norfolk has become a dental desert.
🦷 Fewer NHS dentists
📉 Falling access for kids and adults
💷 People paying £1,000+ in desperation
I raised this in Parliament. We need action now.

I think it’s time to charge people up front when appointments are booked.
When you show, your ‘booking fee’ (of e.g. £25) goes towards your treatment).
Even if you’re ‘entitled’ to free treatment, I’d make the booking fee apply. Easily refunded…
55 hrs of treatments wasted.

I failed to get through via phone and received no reply to emails so I went to the dental practice.
They said their ‘hygienists’ no longer do NHS work and only do ‘cosmetic’ work since recently.
They advise me to call other practices and ask for available ‘Direct access’ hygienists.

(the bus takes an hour and they're only open til 4pm). The doctor's surgery won't even speak to me because I'm not a registered patient. After 7 phone calls I'm so frustrated I'm in tears. 😡😱😳 Merry fucking Christmas 😭 #nhsfail #nhsdentistry
