Desperate people are resorting to extreme measures like removing their own teeth with pliers, screwdrivers, and hammers due to limited access to dental care. Some individuals are traveling long distances for basic healthcare. The British Dental Association (BDA) is urging people to sign a petition to address the dire situation, criticizing the Conservative government's handling of dentistry. The BDA highlights the inadequacy of the government's plan and the urgent need for reform in NHS dentistry. Politicians like Judith Cummins and Yasmin Qureshi MP are advocating for change and accountability in dental care policies, emphasizing the need for reliable solutions to the crisis.
This is what happens when the Government is sinking. They throw out policies & pledges that aren’t reliable to try & cling on to some seats. It is shameful. We’ve had enough. We need a #GeneralElectionNow so @UKLabour can deliver the rescue package NHS dentistry deserves. https://t.co/oKMsGRfUTz
The Government's so-called "recovery plan" for dentistry is already falling apart. This government is out of ideas and out of time. Only @UKLabour will be able to rescue NHS dentistry and reform it for the long run. https://t.co/IpaK8BpK6Q
The Primary Care Minister admitted today that she isn’t sure the Government can deliver the 2.5m dental appointments it promised. Only @UKLabour will be able to rescue NHS dentistry and reform it for the long run. https://t.co/IpaK8BpK6Q
🤦🏽♀️: 1000s of dentists faces after today’s evidence. The ‘millions’ of new appointments Govt led their PR on was based on modelling which has a “high likelihood” of not being reliable. This is a real crisis. It demands a serious response. Sign here: https://t.co/2FfPt0VagG https://t.co/2zKuboDVvG

Dentists have seen through the spin. Empty soundbites won’t stop queues outside practices. Dodgy statistics won’t call time on ‘DIY’ dentistry. Don’t let the Government send the nation’s oral health back in time. Sign here to save NHS dentistry: https://t.co/2FfPt0VagG https://t.co/QXPN0iyyHp
Thanks @YasminQureshiMP and @JudithCummins MP for meeting dentists & patients in Parliament today. You’ve been relentless in pushing NHS dentistry to the top of the political agenda. It’s time the Govt delivered the change millions of patients need. https://t.co/2FfPt0VagG https://t.co/kZAobIq1MN
Today we are in Westminster. Dentists and patients. All failed by a broken system. Tomorrow the Government will be held to account on NHS dentistry. Their broken promises are hurting millions. https://t.co/2FfPt0VagG https://t.co/J5aWjn5Q62

“This isn’t a postcode lottery any more,” says @EddieCrouch “It’s the whole phone book.” We’re seeing horrors that have no place in a wealthy nation. Government’s unfunded, unambitious plan won’t pull dentistry back from the dark ages. Sign here: https://t.co/2FfPt0VagG https://t.co/IIaVxEsHhv
