They say that the increased charges will hit the poorest communities the hardest and lead to more people avoiding trips to the dentist.- so imagine what higher costs of dental appointments will do in terms of discouraging them further from maintaining good oral hygiene. “What makes this situation even more appalling is that while NHS charges for the public are increasing, investment is decreasing."It’s overstretched and under-equipped to effectively care for the nation’s needs.”Since 2010, the cost of NHS dentistry has shot up by more than 30 per cent, while government spending on English dental services has dropped by £550 million over the same period.
"Instead of supporting NHS dentistry and affordable dental care at the point of service, government have continued to steadily increase dental charges over many years.
