Having rung around many "NHS" dentists, none seem to be accepting new patients.
Well, none as NHS anyway. However, I am now finding out that the very same places do have places for people paying privately. In fact, some have so much spare capacity that they are even making half-price incentive offers.
Bit sickening that they say they won't take NHS patients but will take people who flash the cash.
Articles abound on how Brexit and the pandemic have caused a shortage of dentists and how central government funding has decreased but the reality is, many seemed to have jumped on the band wagon of privatisation to reap higher profits.
