Petition text

Give dental care reform the urgent attention it needs, so that no matter where we live or how much we earn we can all access quality and affordable dental care.

Why is this important?

Our dental care system is broken. With long waiting times of up to 3 years, expensive treatments and people resorting to dangerous DIY dentistry: it’s a huge crisis that could get worse unless the government gives it the urgent attention it needs.

Watchdog Healthwatch England’s damning report is calling on the government to prioritise reforming our broken dental care system to avoid further harm to people’s health. The report showed that people on low incomes, those living in the northeast and people from ethnic minority groups were hardest hit by the broken system.

It’s time the government puts an end to this scandal and ensures our dental care system provides quality and affordable care for us all - regardless of who we are, where we live or how much we earn.

Next step - spread the word
