NHS Dentistry is bad enough now without it being made worse.

Trying to get an NHS dentist in the UK is difficult enough. I know a couple of people who have been trying to get one for a while and there is a waiting list of several months. Now it looks like it could be getting worse. Read more here.

It seems that our beloved leaders have added a clause into the new contract with the dentists that they are unhappy about. Unlike us they are not taking this crying and biting the pillow but are instead taking some direct action. Even if a small percentage do leave the NHS it will leave our NHS dentistry in chaos.

And it's not like we can get away with a fully private dental service. Many people need this and, yet again, we are paying for this already with our taxes. Do we want to end up looking like the US in our healthcare?
