Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of access to NHS dental services.

We are determined to rebuild dentistry for the long term.

We will deliver an additional 700,000 urgent dental appointments; reform the dental contract; and introduce supervised toothbrushing for three- to five-year-olds in the most deprived communities.

We are working with the dental sector, including the British Dental Association, to deliver these shared ambitions.
