I've had my, check-up, appointments, cancelled, 6 times! I haven't seen a dentist in, 2-3,years! Gb news, is doing a great job, highlighting, this sort of thing. I'm a postman, & when I deliver stuff, to private, dentists, the waiting rooms are, full, in, Chandler's ford,hants,which is an, affluent, area, in, Hampshire, filled with, mainly, Asian doctors, middle-class, wealthy, leftist, teachers, etc. Says it all, really!
I bet they get a dentist without waiting. Flooding the country with millions more people and having hundreds less dentists is sure to help isn't it! There's too many people burying their head in the sand like this other comment.
The problem with dentistry in this country is that; when you go to medical school with a vision of becoming a Doctor, if you are deemed likely to fail, you are diverted into Dentistry. So you begin, as a failure and are pushed into a place where you feel you have to redeem yourself and go into private practice where you can, at least, attempt to make BIG money. And the consequence, for the general public, is a lack of affordable dentistry.
In the UK students apply for Dentistry as a degree and cannot apply for Medicine as well. The number of dental schools is half that of medical schools and the grades required are the same. The number of applicants per place can be higher so it is arguably more competitive than medicine.
What a load of rubbish. So you are saying dentists are failed medics??? What an insult! The criteria for getting into dental school is just as high as that for medicine. Get your facts straight before making ridiculous statements
So many from Europe settled here after brexit. Why could the gov not have ensured that some of those were skilled in jobs this country needs?
Greedy greedy dentists

Usual issue of mass immigration
Has nothing to do with immigration, its all down to belligerence....

As a retired dentist that’s bollocks. I’ve never met a dentist who was a failed medic.
