"Dental care is health care." Nick had a dental infection. Unable to get an appointment, he ended up in intensive care. Dentistry isn't a 'nice to have'. We can't afford to go on like this. A message for every patient, every politician & policymaker this #WorldOralHealthDay.

Currently, only £3 billion is allocated to NHS dentistry in England, providing care for just half the population. The Government must increase the budget for NHS dentistry and end the shameful reality of #DIYDentistry. @TheBDA @38degrees @EddieCrouch #NHSNotDIY

Government is preparing to extend the sugar levy and include milkshakes. Good. We'd be delighted if this policy doesn't raise a penny. When voluntary action has failed, the levy has delivered - by forcing industry to reformulate. Sign here if you agree https://t.co/IcqWMAD6rd

🧵#OralCancer Awareness Month. 3rd in our series of new vids: Your Mouth, Your Health. Your mouth isn’t just about your smile - it’s about your health! Huge thanks to @TheBDA, @CancerFocusNI, @nicancertrials, @QUBInterSim & @niscifest (1/2)

Reform is promised, but progress hinges on Ministers putting their money where their mouth is. Our patients face cost of living and access crises. Struggling practices are delivering NHS care at a loss. Restoring care to millions requires investment. 👇 https://t.co/1HJSxBGnGN

🚨 For millions across England NHS dentistry has effectively ceased to exist. People in agony are pulling out their own teeth - it’s not Victorian, it’s medieval! We cannot allow this to be normalized

“The last govt dropped straightforward yes/no questions on whether practices can take new patients, to try and cover the scale of the access crisis," says @EddieCrouch "A new govt won't fix this just by playing around with words on a website." https://t.co/u1t6Vu21Ex

"I’m determined to rebuild NHS dentistry” says @Keir_Starmer For that to happen we need sustainable funding. Yesterday I joined @TheBDA in delivering a petition backed by 120,000 people to the PM and Health Secretary. Progress will hinge on whether they listen

So grateful for you finding the time to support our campaign to solve this for the the millions unable to access NHS dental services @thebda Thank you

At Downing St this morning with @TheBDA Chair @EddieCrouch The crisis in NHS dentistry was made in Westminster and it CAN be solved in Westminster. ‘DIY’ dentistry is a stain on this nation. Reform is promised, but change has to start at the Treasury

🦷 DIY dentistry should never be anyone’s only option. Across the country people can’t get an NHS dentist. Children end up in hospital with tooth decay and adults live in pain. NHS dentistry needs urgent funding and reform. It’s time for the Government to fix this gap for good.

Thanks @LFarnz MP for posing this key question.

"I’m determined to rebuild NHS dentistry," says @Keir_Starmer For that to happen we need sustainable funding. Today we delivered a petition backed by 120,000 people to the PM and Health Secretary. Progress will hinge on whether they listen.

At Downing St this morning. The crisis in NHS dentistry was made in Westminster. And it can be solved in Westminster. ‘DIY’ dentistry is a stain on this nation. Reform is promised, but change has to start at the Treasury. With sustainable funding to restore care to millions.

A new UK-wide public awareness campaign for Mouth Cancer Action Month has launched, consisting of informative videos on detecting and preventing mouth cancer. You can find out more about this campaign here: https://t.co/0OjEaSHdjO

Pledges of reform are very welcome. But to bring NHS dentistry back from the brink they must go hand in hand with sustainable funding.

"The problem is the shortage of funding for NHS patients," says Linda Colla, who in desperation removed several of her own teeth. "Unless practices get the funding, they can't take on NHS patients." Today we're taking a message backed by over 120,000 people to Westminster.
