The British Dental Association has urged the SNP Government to create 'a fully funded workforce plan in place so NHS dentistry in Scotland can recruit and retain the dentists it needs.'
Scottish dentists have demanded the SNP Government hires more staff to tackle the country's dental crisis.
Argyll & Bute, Dumfries & Galloway, Inverclyde, Orkney, Perth and Kinross and Shetland had no dentists with NHS capacity for new patients. Just one practice in Fife said it was registering NHS patients, with a waiting list of three months. Charlotte Waite, Director of the British Dental Association Scotland, said: "The Scottish Government has made some welcome changes to what is a 20th century model of care.
“A concerning number of dentists are no longer offering NHS services because of the low rates they receive for that work. “No wonder that the British Dental Association insists that NHS dentistry has been “in crisis for a generation”
