According to a recent report from National Health Service dental activity, practically one million more people in England have had check-ups in comparison to the same period of time 5 years ago.
During the last 2 years, more than 29.1 million patients were seen and given a dental examination, this number is 967,000 more than the baseline figure in March 2006.
Chief Executive of the BDHF, British Dental Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter said, "The uncertainties surrounding the dental contract over the last decade created an overwhelming shortage of NHS dentists, to the point that there were simply not enough to go around."
