Dental Crisis: Patients Are Being Forced to Pull Out Their Own Teeth

Eight years ago a GMB investigation revealed how difficult it was to get an NHS dentist appointment in England. Now, as the government promises to provide 2.5 million more appointments that promise, it's actually become even harder. We revisited our 2016 dentist investigation to see if things have changed. Contacting the same 100 dental practices in England, we found that of those practices we spoke to, NHS appointments offered dropped to 1% from 13%.
Jamie Totterdell joins GMB and says he hasn't had a dentist for 16 years and has been forced to pull out 2 of his teeth using pliers because of the pain he was going through.

I'm a dentist from Germany. All colleagues, dentists, i know, saying that England is the most unattractive place to work as a dentist. Why this....because dentist earning not enough in England. I earn 100% more (as normal dentist) than a dentist in England.... the government should make this job attractive for a dentist . Otherwise, the crisis will deepen.

All NHS jobs in the uk should have a better payment package to attract better and higher caliber specialists, doctors and nurses. And to incentivise younger generations to take medicine as a career.

I was sheltering during covid and basically didn’t leave the house for a year and a half. When I went to book an appointment at my dentist I found out they’d taken me off their NHS patients list as it had been over a year! No warning or notification at all

Dentistry is private in Spain unless you need an extraction. I am sure same in many other places in Europe. But the cost privately is not as high as here in uk.

@RachyNoodleNest 13 дней назад

Here’s what I don’t understand. I’m a private patient and have been for many years, I pay £22 a month for 2 check ups, 2 cleans and 1 x-ray a year. I am not flush by the way. My annual income is average for the UK. I’ve NEVER had an issue getting an appointment, like ever. If it’s so easy for private patients to get an appointment, why can’t more appointments be freed up for NHS patients?

@aishailyas5702 21 день назад

Far too many judgmental people in the comments. Going private is an option for some but not everyone can afford it. People have bills to pay. Dentists don't really care about helping people anymore. Everyone I speak to talks about dentists pushing people to get cosmetic work done which is such a shame. As a side point, we should stop funding foreign wars and focus on issues in our own country like this dental health crisis instead.

To say that dentist dont care about helping people like.. go work as a dentist after 5 years of college and i will see if you will take in patients for free. Do you think people would become doctors if they earned minimal wage but they can help people??

@pugly747 17 дней назад

My dentist moved and the practice said they couldn't attract a new dentist so I've been left in limbo, a couple of broken teeth now and nobody to remove them.

@NeonV38 13 дней назад

Also dentist over here will not accept you if you miss 3 appointments you lose them and no other will take you and that's wrong things happen and it's not fair that they don't let you stay with them im very lucky i do have a dentist as they gave me a chance but they nearly didn't as i got blocked from one over 15 yrs ago which is ridiculous

@user-mm5yd1en6j 21 день назад

It sounds like it's already the USA model, but at half the cost.

@dailydarts180 19 дней назад

I am with a dentist in Norwich but it is private & getting more expensive now 1) ive been enrolled for a while 2) i am young so i think i get a little cheaper 3) but I have had stuff done and it cost around 500 odd all together 4 teeth taken out for braces and it cost £100 a tooth & recently had an exam, cleaning & x ray which cost around about £126 or £145 i cant remember but I remember being shocked at how much it was

@melgrant7404 16 дней назад

@colettegibson6516 so there is no guarantee it will still offer nhs patient appointments then .the way its going nhs dentists are leaving and not being replaced.

@colettegibson6516 16 дней назад

@melgrant7404 sorry, I'm not sure what you mean? Without a crystal ball or tardis I'm not sure how I could prove or disprove my dentists continued ability to provide appointments in a timely manner via NHS..... You just sound jealous, which is ludicrous.....

I've had toothache in bonny Scotland and I've had nothing but good luck and it's been relatively easy to get a dentist even in lockdown. It seems to be an English thing.

@MsKenzo7 15 дней назад

To be honest everything in the UK is astronomically expensive. Prescriptions being one of them, the price of same medicine in different countries is so much lower than here. And I am not talking double but more than double the price.

I have teeth that easily decay therefore I brush often. Floss and avoid sugar. Cavities of that magnitude are avoidable.

Exactly why is he crying that he pulled his own teeth out when could have went dentist and now wants someone to fund it because he’s damaged them more ?

@firey9998 21 день назад

@@user-et6xp9px9h nope but his excuse that he couldn’t afford it was he was self employed.. how have Good morning Britain managed to magically find someone to come in and do an interview?? Call me a tin hat wearer but I’m guessing he is a paid actor, so itv can fabric a story to get more clicks and make more money. I just do not believe someome couldn’t take out a small loan to pay for the treatment.
