@Dhru_Dynamo We can all suggest things,it’s whether it’s actually enforceable/possible/common sense/fair/worth airtime. I suggest @NHSEngland @wesstreeting consider the value of dentistry and whether they serious about saving it as ultimately only they can, or let it die as it currently is

I would argue children aren’t skipping anything, it’s their parents who don’t want to either take advice, or action it leading to a huge detriment to their child’s oral health and well-being. Dental decay is in 99% of cases preventable. There needs to be shared responsibility

RT @GBullstein: £91,346, plus expenses.

RT @TheBDA: 🇬🇧 'British Teeth' are a total myth. 🇺🇸Academics have found Americans of working age are missing more teeth. Decent care for…

@BSDHTUK I look forward to have the Frank and open discussion on where we are but also where we could be… x

RT @EddieCrouch: Promises will not cure toothache: Action will. My message to government in @thetimes👇

Exactly this.

If you’re going to read 1 thing today… this is a fantastic piece by @DrPaulLeavy summing up what is actually happening on the ground and why the NHS system is so broken. National commissioners might want to take notes…(or not as seems to be the norm)

Really. This? Welcome to the shit show that is the US.

@narindertweets Oh Narinder, respect you generally but that remark just lame and beneath you.

Associates ie those majority of those delivering high street dental care…. This is worth a read. You are assets, know your worth and demand a slice of the pie.

Many teams feel an absolute nothingness as they are just getting on with the job of attending to the needs of the thousands of patients let down by the NHS and the forgotten promises of those in power. The patient suffers, the profession is stoic.

@KFC_UKI Really unhappywent to birchanger KFC and placed an order, got home and a supercharger burgers Snack box is missing. I have the receipt. The number on the internet is incorrect and there’s no way of contacting them apart from driving all the way back pls advise.

@crooks_peter Yup. So RIP NHS dentistry then.

@crooks_peter Thanks Peter, 👍🏽I’ve seen this. Yes a list of no shit Sherlock recommendations and words for the sake of wordy wordiness but no actual plan for system reform or tangible improvements that will directly help patients any time soon. Where are the timelines? Who’s accountable?

What does ‘saving’ actually mean? Can you get in to see dentist onNHS when in pain? No. Can you see an NHS dentist as you’re concerned about your oral health? No. Are you able to complain re:treatment knowing you won’t get chucked off if you do? No. Saving? It’s already dead.

RT @EddieCrouch: If you are an associate and not checking on your new patient premium additions using this why not ? @TheBDA

@joehendron1 @TheBDA @wesstreeting @SKinnock Well it’s exactly that Joe, guff! Also known as absolute boll**ks/kicking the can/let’s keep promising ‘tomorrow’ in the hope their morale hits rock bottom and they leave and we can blame them for the catastrophic failure of NHS dentistry instead of our own ineptitude. 😤
