The upcoming election has allowed politicians to show their will to improve dentistry in the UK.
The upcoming election has provided an opportunity for the leading parties to showcase their commitment to improving dentistry provisions in the UK, it has been claimed. 
According to Tory shadow health minister Mike Penning, should the Conservatives win at next week’s polls, then he will introduce a new dentistry contract that will focus on improving levels of access for all sections of society.
He commented: “These changes will allow us to give one million more people access to an NHS dentist and give every five-year-old a dental check-up.”
Elsewhere, Lakeside Dental recently claimed that an increase in drug treatments under the last government has led to more people requiring emergency dentistry treatments.
Known as xerostomia, this is brought about through these drugs killing protective bacteria in the mouth, thereby leading to an increased risk of cavities forming in previously healthy teeth.
