‘I spent uni savings on getting my teeth fixed’ – the real cost of NHS dentist shortage
People tell BBC Your Voice the rising cost of private dentistry is putting them in a difficult position.
Rebecca Curtayne, of Healthwatch England, a patient watchdog, says they too have concerns with people reporting private dentistry is “too expensive”. She says people in deprived and rural areas are disproportionately affected as they tend to have the poorest access to NHS care and are least likely to be able to afford private fees.
