- Опубліковано 6 лют 2024
- The Government is preparing to offer dentists cash incentives to take on extra NHS patients, and send teams to schools to treat children's teeth.
Under a plan to boost services in England seen by the BBC, dentists will receive a "bonus" to take on more NHS patients, with up to 240 dentists offered £20,000 to work for three years in under-served areas.
There will also be a scheme to tackle dental decay among young children and Ministers are preparing to unveil details of the "dental recovery plan" on Wednesday.
TalkTV's Vanessa Feltz is joined by dentist Dr Ben Atkins and dental crisis victim Claire Simmons to discuss the UK's healthcare issues.

I’m going to France, throwing my passport away and travelling back to England in a rowing boat. The RNLI taxi service can pick me up, I’ll have a free hotel room, see the doctor, dentist, free meals and money. Other than that I won’t hold my breath getting an appointment anytime soon
Stop 🛑
Maybe the population increase of 10 million since 2001 has had something to do with the breakdown of the entire health service infrastructure 🤷♂️
More working people, more taxes payed should give better health insurance service and infrastructure. But if those people came to NOT work???
@@ldkbudda4176 except then figures show the vast majority don't work
@@Dirpitz Yes, indeed! Unfortunately! BTW You didn't like my comment above? ;)
Well we know that it’s obvious common sense but the ultra rich in charge don’t ring the dentist on the street corner. They hate us and want us gone that’s obvious common sense too
If I was a illegal migrant I could get to see a dentist
I know how she feels I had to go private to get my teeth saughted it cost me £6000. I couldn't anywhere on the n.h.s . It is really bad I'm a disabled pensioner I'm just about keeping my head above water now after spending that money.
Same. I can’t go very rare and even to research it was appalling. I used my savings £1.300 to get a quick treatment
The problem - as it always has - comes from the BDA, the British Dental Association. It is a 'closed shop' that actively reduces the number of dentists qualifying. The BDA should be abolished.
Try being an old person in a care home, unable to get anywhere even from bed to chair without two people helping you. No chance of seeing a dentist. Even the gp didnt know how to refer to special care dentistry in nhs and even if you do reach them the list os years and years long…
What medications cause teeth to disintegrate, and what are these side effects doing to the rest of her body? This poor lady also needs a medication review asap.
I’m waiting since weeks for physiotherapy. Health system is appalling here
Cocaine is one drug that rots them away fast a drug very common to lots of weak minded people
Is anyone asking questions about who are getting treatment?
5000 iu of vitamin d daily , no booze or sugar
We need a dental watchdog with teeth … er
Dentists have become totally greedy, there is a sugery around the corner from me with lambouginis and porsche's parked outside, this is what this is. In addition GP's are doing the same ours are taking on more and more paitents just to get the money, and they want you to turn up for medicine reviews which attract money, and ticks a bo, but if you are ill you allowwed to talk about one thing and have 10 mins. They claim they are obliged to do this they not they are independent contractors. What ever happened to vocations and service ?
Are you a communist?! Why shouldn't these people be able to profit from their skills.
You're using the politics of envy
You are just jealous. You could go to university and become a dentist too. Now you would drive Portche.
Jealousy. Plus the 45% tax they pay pays for Your benefits
You’re right it’s sickening in your face greed I totally agree. Any filling should not exceed 80 pounds in my opinion it’s daylight robbery and putting lives at risk so they can add another fancy car on thier private driveway that’s right a dentist lol
Doesn't dentistry fall under the NHS ? Way back, we had decent dentists, who did the job on it's merits, that was before dentists started to realise that they could get loads more money doing private work, i'm not having that any equipment dentists use is any more state of the art than hospitals, if the supplies that's needed are so expensive then that is on the government to regulate, my gut feeling is that it's nothing to do with equipment or supplies but just greed, preconceived idea of status.
You should stop talking about things you do not understand! Find out more about how NHS dentistry works then come back to comment.
look at the numbers mate the newcomers that’s the reason it’s obvious
Some one needs to find out how many people need help with there teeth.
The NHS do free in plants but they won't tell people how to get it, I've tried and even got a referral from my doctor and was told I don't meat the criteria and then was ignored even though I can just about eat without being in pain.
This is big news and loads of people have this proplem.
Implants are mot available for those who lost their teeth through preventable disease e.g. tooth decay, gum disease.
Its for people with congenitally missing teeth, teeth lost due to trauma, cancer treatment, cleft patients, sometimes other rare pathology
Even then implants are not guarenteed as they may offer you a different replacement option instead.
The NHS which was paid for by our national insurance that most people pay was for all our health issues.
It's very hard to get a NHS dentist anywhere in the country since the covid period.
@@josephcarballo3244 you do realise little of the taxes you pay actually go towards NHS dentistry right? Government funding has gone down signficant over the past decades.
The NHS waist millions on private consultants that used to be imploded by the NHS before. But they worked out they could make alot more money that way.
And it goes write to the top.
@@josephcarballo3244 oh so you're one of those people who beleiev British doctors and dentists should only work for the NHS because something something greed.
Talking to the British public about their teeth is like talking to a brick wall. Some patients really listen but it's usually the ones who don't who throw a fuss about the NHS and how they can't be seen and get their root canal treatment despite being in pain even though they ignored all the advice given by their dentist and let their tooth get to the stage where saving it is not worth it. Not to mention not even showing up the appointments to save their teeth either@
I've just paid £250 for a tooth extraction, £60 for the initial consultation so £310 in total just for one tooth. I've now been told I need to pay another £60 for a second consultation with the same dentist to look at my other teeth. Love Vanessa, she's brilliant.
Ive been with my nhs dentist for 22yrs and mine went private last January..cant get in nowhere..worjed all my life 65 this year..cant afford private at all.
I hope Ben offers to help her out. He clearly cares ❤
Recently had to ring round several dental practices trying to get an appointment, after being an nhs dental patient all my life and my own usual dental practice denying me an appointment or saying it 6 months until i could be seen. Lost my usual checkups during Covid and they lost interest in their nhs patients. Finally got an appointment but had to go private, beforehand they were not accepting new patients but as soon as i said i would pay my appointment was the next day. Had to prepay over the phone, after examination and a prescription for antibiotics was scheduled for another appointment in four weeks. Which i had to prepay, my own doctor could of given me antibiotics. Now i have finally decided to go ahead with private dental care because i know i will eventually lose all my teeth. The cost, not sure but i do have savings. Once done and i have dentures, hope that means i will be free of dentists. My entire family, Mum,Dad,Brothers,Sisters have this in grown fear of dentists. Maybe me going forward and sorting out my own situation will reflect on them
Dentist for the highest bidder.
The dentist I went to all my life went private in February this year and phoned up every dentist around me and they have also went private, us who can’t afford private have to suffer in pain and sometimes painkillers don’t even help, one of the dentist I rang told me they have gone private because the government has stopped playing NHS dentistry
Take out a dental plan as least it covers all checkups, xrays, and work depending on the plan you have. There is no way I would let my teeth get to that stage.
GPS and dentist 👽

Shocking
This is why people are goin to.turkey ....
Can you see my teeth Ben??? Ben: oh no I am in Manchester now, but this should be prevented 😂😂😂😂
Yeah wasted the poor lady’s time, asking for help but being told no 😢
You can avoid tooth decay by not eating sweets and making sure that you floss and brush regularly. Teach kids to do the same. Sweets are very artificial. Many are designed to be sucked or chewed in the mouth for a long time and that is what causes them to rot teeth.
Substitute sweets with things that don't stay in the mouth for long. Eat fruit or biscuits.
Obviously there are reasons why sweets are not adequately criticised. Mencius said :
If your aim is wealth you cannot be benevolent. If your aim is benevolence you cannot be wealthy. End quote.
Remember to floss before you brush. Don't leave bits of food stuck between your teeth.
Unfortunately her meds caused problems with her teeth. She mentioned she was on a lot for many health conditions so this affects the teeth. My hair fell out on nerve block injections and teeth cracked due to grinding teeth at night. I wasn't even aware I was doing it but being in pain can affect teeth. Everyone's situation is different.
No good talking anbout dentist or hospitals government get shut for long time all going private in due time
Same hass the council housing all private has americas businesses are pop up 😢
Stop paying your council tax and instead use the money to go private.
Good luck with that. You'll have enforcement agent by your doors in no time.
@@mimo.1467 I know of multiple people who don't pay council tax. Go learn how contract law works. And they're not bailiffs, they are enforcement agents. There's a difference.
@Steve_the_Lion well, my partner owed council £24. It rose to over £200 because of court fees, and enforcement agent (yes, I messed the name, sorry) was by our door within a few weeks (which was quite shocking. I wouldn't think they would chase people for such a small amount). You can't just stop paying council tax because you feel like it. There is no way around it (unless you are a full-time student living alone or with other students or claim some sort of benefits). I don't believe you know people who don't pay council because they don't want to. They must somehow play the system, i.e., breaking the law.
@@mimo.1467 Whether or not you believe me is not my problem. It's not my job to convince people. But it's the council that is breaking the law. Forcing people to hand over their money is a crime. Like I said before, go and learn contract law. Did you actually go to court?
@@Steve_the_Lion let me tell you what is included in council tax: police and fire service, leisure and recreation projects, such as maintaining parks and sports centres, libraries and education services, rubbish and waste collection and disposal, transport and highway services, including street lighting and cleaning, and road maintenance, environmental health and trading standards, administration and record-keeping, such as marriages, deaths and birth, and local elections. I understand that you and people you know dont want rubbish to be cared for or dont want fire engine to arrive in case of fire?
My advice is pay your mortgage off and take driving lessons 👌
Housing, Crime, NHS, GPs appointments, dentists, all have issues down to immigration. I really don't know what else needs to happen before people wake up in Britain. Just vote reformuk and give them a term.
every one’s teeth are looking very bad the decay of some peoples and friends is shocking. Mine need work on old fillings but Ive every tooth still at 41 and I clean them myself with an ultrasonic de scaler tool which is actually better than the dentist attempt in my opinion.
