Force the government to look at access to local NHS dentists
Please look at how accessible NHS Dentists are around the whole of the UK, there is such a huge need for people to access local NHS Dentists without having to travel more than 7 miles to just be signed up with a new dentist.
Why is this important?
This so important, there has always been an on going joke about the Dental health of people in England, well being someone who after 2 years of not seeing my own dentist I was removed from their books, meaning that just something as simple as losing a filling, I now have to see an emergency dentist with no follow ups and then being told I had to still find a new dentist to take me onto their books. So I registered on to the waiting list to be offered a place for an NHS dentist when one became available. Well I got the call saying there was a place available, but it is almost 12 miles away in a village where I would have to catch 2 buses and a train to get there, which would take 2 hours to get there. This is ridiculous, why she people have to suffer this way, especially when there is so many dental surgeries with in a 10 minute bus ride away and not one of them is taking on new NHS patients, This really needs to be looked out and to be sorted.
