PHONE-IN
The British Dental Association are warning that a crisis is looming for people who are relying on NHS dentistry.
A new survey of dentists across Scotland has found that more than 80% say they will reduce - or further reduce - their NHS commitment in the year ahead. More than 30% say they will change career or seek early retirement.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf recently stressed NHS staffing was β€œat a historically high level”, with β€˜record’ numbers of dental staff in hospitals alongside medics and allied health professionals. However, NHS Education for Scotland data indicates an 8% drop in high street NHS dentists delivering care since lockdown, a fall from 3,038 in March 2020 to 2,791 in September 2022.
