Why Finding An NHS Dentist Is So Difficult
The shortage of NHS dentists in the UK is a growing problem. Many people are struggling to register for routine dental care, while others are travelling long distances just to be seen.
Here are some of the key reasons:
Over 90% of NHS dental practices in England are not currently accepting new adult patients
Government dental contracts have left many practices underfunded or unable to take on new patients
Staffing shortages and increased demand mean practices fill up fast and open spaces are rare
That’s why we created this service – to track availability in real time and help you register before spaces are gone.
