Completed petition Re-open full general dental services in Wales as has happened in England.
On March 23rd general dental services were closed for all except advice, antibiotics, pain killers and simplel extractions.
On June 8th 2020 English practices were allowed to re open and the level of service was based on their ability to comply with safe operating protocols.
Welsh patients and dentists are denied this opportunity, with estimated "normal" service in January 2021
Patients are being denied access to appropriate treatment in Wales. This is discrimination and must stop.
More details
Dental practices can and will be as safe as possible. They are also huge financial strain which may result in many having to close resulting in even worse access issues.
