The government says the plan will 'fund more than 1.5 million additional NHS dentistry treatments' - but the BDA has called for the modelling behind the claim to be released.
Just 3% of dentists believe the government's dental recovery plan will result in them seeing more NHS patients, a new poll has found. A survey of 1,104 dentists in England found that 43% believe the proposals will lead to them seeing fewer patients, while 54% said the number of NHS patients they see will remain the same. The government unveiled its £200m plan to bolster NHS dentistry in England last month.
However, the BDA has called for the modelling behind the claim to be released.
