The Government have published a plan to recover NHS dentistry. The plan includes £200m of government funding with up to 2.5 million additional NHS dental appointments delivered for patients over the next 12 months.
The plan follows years of campaigning by Healthwatch and the British Dental Association (BDA) for NHS dentistry that is more accessible and affordable.
