NHS Dentists don’t go on strike we just quietly shift the balance of our work.
With continually rising costs, & huge professional fees the only option is to shift business focus towards private care.
Increased litigation risk & treatment complexities adds to the move away from NHS dentistry.

New practices cannot open and automatically do NHS work in England.
The entire contract & commissioning process is broken and unfit for purpose.
The main reason we are keeping the doors open is by increasing our private mix.
Practices are fully self funded, no help with equipment, buildings, NI, utilities or staff. Just a service contract to provide a set amount of activity.
