Dr Tony Kilcoyne, a dentist from Haworth, West Yorks, has seen the annual letter he co-ordinates published in this week’s Telegraph. It bears the the signatures of over 400 dentists and says that urgent action is needed to improve access to dentistry, and prioritise prevention of decay.
Dr Kilcoyne told The Telegraph, “It is a terrible situation when you have got charities looking at Britain and seeing there is a desperate need to provide basic care. This letter is a wake-up call; we are urging Government to act now to improve the state of dentistry, and tackle the inadequacies in our system.”
