No estimate has been made of the number of dentists that have left the National Health Service in the last twelve months. Data on NHS dentists is not available by parliamentary constituency or on the specific date requested. However, the number of dentists providing NHS care from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 is expected to be published in the third quarter of 2022/23.
