Dentists say there is a ‘black hole’ in funding for dental treatment in England, with further 4% increase to come next month
Patients are paying for “stealth cuts” in England’s dental budget, with NHS charges for treatment increasing by around 45% in the past decade while government spending has been cut in real terms, a new analysis reveals.
Increases of 4% on NHS dental fees will be implemented next month, with patients now footing the bill for about a quarter of the £3bn dental budget.
