Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's policy is on how people can access dental care in circumstances where NHS dental treatment is not available.
Patients struggling to find a local dentist can contact NHS England’s Customer Contact Centre for assistance or contact NHS 111 if seeking urgent care.
A one-off additional £50 million recently secured for National Health Service dental services this financial year will urgently give more people access to vital dental care.
