Fix NHS Dentistry in South Devon

In South Devon, NHS Dentistry has become virtually non-existent. It’s now almost impossible to get an appointment locally when you need one.

Shockingly, there isn’t a single dental surgery in South Devon accepting new NHS patients. Many residents are left with a painful choice: either pull out their own teeth or pay thousands for private care.

This crisis is unacceptable. Everyone deserves access to basic dental care, no matter where they live.

The Government must act urgently to fix this crisis. I am calling for:

An increase to the number of dentist training places in the UK
Recognition of EU trained dentists’ qualifications
Rural areas in the South West receiving the same provision of NHS dentistry as those in urban areas
Urgent implementation of the government’s manifesto commitment of 700,000 more dental appointments

If you agree, then sign my petition.
