Back Labour’s plan to rescue NHS dentistry

Here’s what’s happening: Under the Tories, NHS dentistry is in decline.

Millions of people are unable to get the appointments they need and 1 in 10 are even attempting their own DIY dentistry.

42,000 children went to hospital to have teeth removed in 2021/22 and tooth decay is the most common reason for children aged 6-10 to be admitted to hospital.

Labour will put an end to this disgrace. As part of a package of measures to rescue NHS dentistry paid for by abolishing the non-dom tax status, we will:

provide an extra 700,000 urgent dental appointments and reform the NHS dental contract
offer incentives for new dentists to work in areas with the greatest need
introduce supervised toothbrushing in schools for 3-5 year olds, targeted at the areas with highest childhood tooth decay
shift the focus to prevention, making sure there is an NHS dentist for all who need it
