I made an interesting and informative visit to Bhandal Dental Practice in Dudley, to talk about the Governments NHS Dental Recovery Plan.
Everyone who needs a dentist should be able to get one. Simple.
So we are launching a new plan to create 2.5 million extra appointments. We plan to do this by:
- Providing new incentives to UK graduates to join the NHS instead of going private will help increase the number of dentists in the NHS.
- Providing more cash incentives for dentists to take on more patients.
- Setting up the ‘Smile for life’ initiative, where children of reception age will be encouraged to combat dental decay from an early age, with a specific programme in nurseries.
It’s great to know the Bhandal Dental Practice is open to receive new patients
