Tackling the geographical disparities in access to National Health Service dentistry is vital. As part of the hospital to community shift that will be set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, we will see people get better access to dentists. We will be working with NHS England as part of the NHS Workforce Plan to assess the need for more dental trainees across the country.
