Very constructive first meeting with @SKinnock today @DHSCgovuk. Pleased to be on same page. I told the Minister we want to restore the pride dentists once had in NHS dentistry. I look forward to working together to rebuild a service millions depend on. @TheBDA

NHS dentistry back on the agenda at #PMQs This service has ceased to exist for millions. Bringing it back from the brink will require real reform and sustainable funding. Thanks to Tom Rutland MP @Tom4EWAS for raising key questions.

New research shows no nonsense warning labels on food could save 100,000 lives from obesity over 20 years. It's time to put tried and tested approaches from abroad into action, to improve the general & oral health of the nation. Sign here if you agree https://t.co/IcqWMAD6rd

Before the NHS much of our healthcare was dependent on charities. The fundraising might be digital, but this is another step back to the Victorian era. Sign here if you agree we need change https://t.co/NHAvjywuex

Great to be offering evidence yesterday alongside @william_pett of @HealthwatchE to the APPG for Health inquiry on improving improving access to primary care. 14m remain unable to access NHS dentistry. We can solve this problem, but it will require political will. @TheBDA

Good to meet Minister for Care @SKinnock this afternoon. Top of the agenda: fundamental reform of NHS dentistry. We all want to move forward, at pace. But after a generation of savage cuts to this service we need honesty about the difficult choices ahead. @TheBDA

🇬🇧In 2010 the four UK nations put in about the same amount per head to cover NHS dental care. ✂️The picture today is the result of a decade of savage cuts at Westminster. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Patients in England deserve better. ✍️Sign here if you agree👉 https://t.co/NHAvjywuex

A pleasure to meet @BenGoldsborough MP in parliament today. Sadly, like many others across the country, his constituents in South Norfolk have lost hope in getting an NHS dental appointment. Our service needs fair funding and fundamental reform, urgently. @TheBDA

It was good to meet Shadow Health Secretary @StuartAndrew MP this afternoon. @TheBDA We spoke about the lack of support for NHS dental practices following the national insurance hike and the impact this is having on the sector. Interesting to hear policy development starting

"The filling put into my root canal keeps disintegrating & the only thing I can do is keep going back to the emergency dental hospital," says Cate Baggett. Choices made at the Treasury hurt patients & pile pressure on other parts of our health service. https://t.co/NHAvjywuex

“Little tweaks here won’t make a difference” says Mark Green. “It needs a proper radical reform of the contract." And real reform must go hand in hand with fair funding. Sign here if you agree👇 https://t.co/NHAvjywuex

Thank you @MCSavours MP for underlining the urgent need for a new dental contract to stop the exodus of dentists from the NHS. Reform has been promised since 2010. We welcome these small, positive changes, but without fundamental reform there won't be a service left to save.

“The NHS’s founding promise - care from cradle to grave - falters at the gumline” writes @zoe_beaty Deep inequalities are set to widen. But not a penny of new investment is being pledged to a service on the brink. We can’t go on like this. Sign here👇 https://t.co/NHAvjywuex

The access crisis in NHS dentistry was made in Westminster. Choices made at the Treasury mean practices are now delivering NHS care at a loss. But no health professional can work this way. Join over 90,000 and say it's time for change. https://t.co/NHAvjyx245

Dental tourists are now being offered consultations in hotel rooms here, from overseas qualified dentists who cannot legally carry out assessments in the UK. Patients need to understand the risks. https://t.co/anHq0vgVC1
