But (as always) there is more to do. We must work towards a named NHS dentist for every patient and continue driving improvements in access to NHS dental care right across the country. (3/3)

We’ve made progress, through the roll-out of supervised toothbrushing, increasing the number of urgent dental appointments, and beginning a long-overdue overhaul of the NHS dental contract. (2/3)
