Edward Morello launches campaign to End Dorset's Dental Desert
Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate is calling for action to ensure that everyone in West Dorset can access an NHS dentist when they need one.
The research also showed that tooth decay is now the number one reason for hospital admissions of young children. It also showed that many people are now waiting more than 18 months to be seen.
Lib Dem Candidate Edward Morello said: “This is just more damning evidence of how far this Conservative Government has let NHS dentistry slip.”
“Things don’t have to be this way. The Liberal Democrats have a plan to fix NHS dentistry, and undo this Conservative neglect.”
We are calling on the Department for Health and Social Care to review the provision of NHS dentists in West Dorset. The Government have consistently ignored the problems with NHS dentistry, and patients are suffering because of it. We think it's time for the Government to get a grip on this dentistry crisis.
