This is for readers in the UK.
I am appalled that, although we are supposed to have a National Health Service (NHS), many cannot even find an NHS dentist! It would appear that the government does not give dentists enough money to support NHS dentistry.
In desperation, I wrote to my local MP, who is in the ruling Conservative party. She replied. The photo attached shows the body of her reply. I have omitted my address and the House of Commons logo.
In my view, the lack of NHS dentists is a total disgrace and needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. Good teeth are essential for good health. It is about time we acted as if the government believed this.
