- čas přidán 24. 03. 2024
- Last Wednesday the Health Minister, Maria Caulfield claimed on this program that there are significantly more Dentists seeing NHS patients. However, The British Dental Association says that just is not true and in some cases people are traveling hundreds of miles for essential emergency care.
The chairman of the British Dental Association, Eddie Crouch joins GMB today to explain why dentists aren't taking on more NHS patients. And we hear from Matt Bamford, who says he's been waiting for an NHS dentist for ten years.

I'm with an NHS dentist and he complains that people do not turn up for appointments. If they don't turn up /cancel two appointments consecutively, he has to remove them from his books. I'm going in just over an hour to have a back molar extracted - I'm dreading it but, I know at least I'm having local anaesthetic
The NHS website she mentioned is a joke. A lot of the ‘taking NHS patients’ practices listed aren’t actually taking any when you ring them
I was kicked off by my nhs dentist even though I had been attending. They just want you to go private and pay loads of money. Which doesn't help low income earners
Yes, they might be on the website for show, because when you call they say not taking new nhs pati
I wrote to my local MP about the lack of NHS dentist in her constituency, this was back in January. She is still waiting for the Department of Health and Social Services to give her an answer. By the way my MP is the Rt Hon Victoria Atkins, Secretary of State for Health and Social Services. She has been waiting for over three months for an answer form herself.
Health is your wealth. Get a private dental plan. There is no way i would sit there waiting for an appointment. You can get sepsis from infection
This is a good idea for people who can afford it but for some people it's just not an option.
I get an emergency appointment on the nhs that day ....time for scottish independence
No issues being seen in midlothain, but been a patient there for 30 years
It's the same here in Northern Ireland It's disgusting..
Exactly they literally are pulling peoples teeth because they won't give you am appointment then claim they can't save the tooth. Northern Ireland is diabolical. The health of people comes secondary tooth infections can lead to cardiac issues like endocarditis through infections left untreated by a complete & utter lack of Dentists and it has not improved at all it has got worse.
Yes it is the Dentist here are prepared to remove teeth rather than attempt to save them because they claim expense time etc also they have no answer to leaving you in agony with infections that can lead to endocarditis if left untreated as every good Dentist knows. Northern Ireland is an absolute disgrace - NHS patients are treated like garbage 2nd class citizens
In bonny Scotland lve had no problems getting a dentist.
Victoria Atkins said on this show recently to go to A&E for dental problems. She knows there's no Dentists at A&E

Well, I live in Lewes and can confirm none of the dentists are taking on nhs patients .
My dentist left the NHS after lockdown .
Took on a trainee, and he then decided to leave the NHS 2 years later .
NO dentist in Lewes is taking on new patients .
Thank For The News!!
The question asked by Suzanna at 18.37 is key. The reasons why so many dentists have gone private are valid. Sadly too many will have realised how lucrative private dentistry can be and wont wish to return to providing NHS card's even if under a revised contract. Sadly the UDA based contract introduced in 2006 has been a disaster.
Only a few for under 7s taken on here in Sth Bham ...all lies GE
Two nhs dentists left my practice last year.only one was replaced.
Bupa closed 3 practices in my area.they are closing 85 practices in total.
Been on it dentists are saying there taking on nhs patients when i rang they said they wernt taking on
you can use the nhs for cancer, brain surgery, liver transplants and more but just don't expect teeth to be covered...
The dentistry method has to change from root... It's not possible for a dentist to run a NHS practise with claiming of UDAs.. and hence system pulls dentistry clinics moves away from govt support... Bringing oversees dentists without exam and expecting them to give NHS care is a joke
Not add a nhs dentist in 5 years but every migrant coming over has a dentist and they have never put a penny in im ex army on disabilty with heart failure and left in pain everyday and taking too many pain killers witch is killing me faster i have two kids that need a dad i hate this goverment ive pulled the last two out on my own ive got teeth with the tops gone infections all the time
Why didn't he go 10 years to see a dentist?This is the question they have to ask! Do not blame the system !
And the other one, her teeth are loose because she cannot see a dentist 😂😂😂 blame the dentists for your neglect and smoking.....is this a joke TV!
Because he hasn't been able to find a practice taking on patients. Did the whole point of this video go over your head? It can be very hard to find a dentist on the NHS depending on where you live.
I have better dentistry care in Africa
Asked them how many times they brush their teeth a day ? They do not go to dentists only if they have a problem … to late mate , no sympathy what so ever. From a child it should be a must every year for a check up, then no one would have problems as bad as we have heard, ridiculous behaviour by the public in general, lazy and ignorant.
Universal
Dental care is not a right. Take a than air flight to Greece or Spain and get your teeth fixed. Stop whining. I have absolutely no sympathy. No other country offers public dental. No where! Take your benefit money save it and get the teeth fixed
"Take your benefit money and save it" ? What exactly does that mean?
Yes of course! People should just hop on a plane and fly to a foreign country whenever they have an issue with their teeth. No sympathy as everyone can afford that. That's much better than the government making dental care accessible to everyone.
Prevention is a better way, clean your teeth and mouth 2-3 times a day.
