A message from our former Chair, Yasmin Qureshi

“This crisis in NHS dentistry is hitting millions, fuelling health inequalities. I want this group to be a voice for patients and dentists in Parliament, helping to push this crucial issue to the top of the agenda here in Westminster. Because dentistry should not be an optional extra – it should be a core part of our NHS.”
