NHS dental services in Scotland face collapse, Scottish Labour warns

NHS dental services in Scotland are facing collapse — despite a Scottish government scheme providing extra funding, Scottish Labour warned today.
The party said that in five years just nine dentists had received funding from the Scottish government’s Scottish Dental Access Initiative, which offers grants for dentists to establish or expand NHS practices.
And it said there had now been reports of “dental deserts,” with six council areas reporting having no practices taking on new adult NHS patients within three months, and just one in four practices across Scotland offering appointments in the same period.
