Our children deserve to be able to see a dentist
The staggering rise in dental deserts has left far too many people struggling to get an NHS dental appointment when they need to.
“It is heartbreaking that people are being left waiting in pain for months or even years for the dental care they need.
Many are being forced to shell out thousands of pounds on private dental care, while some are even turning in desperation to DIY dentistry.
