As the crisis in English dental care continues, here are four things that might start to reverse the crisis:
1. Give everyone the right to register with an NHS dentist;
2. Move to yearly (or even biennial) check-ups for patients with no immediate issues;
3. A new dental contract more focussed on prevention;
4. Overhaul funding of NHS dental care.
To some extent simple, but not necessarily politically plausible?
We can but hope something will be done
