1 hour agoPlans to fix NHS dental care and save some patients hundreds of pounds
The British Dental Association says the reforms are the biggest changes to what it describes as a "failed contract" since it was introduced nearly 20 years ago. The Government says that its proposals mean that those needing more complicated care, requiring numerous appointments, could save up to 225. For years, many patients have found it increasingly hard to access services, with some towns in England referred to as "dental deserts", having no available NHS dentists at all.
