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.
