Sir, I find myself once again without an NHS dentist in Oxford, and the practices I have contacted have closed their books to NHS patients. My previous dentist left the practice because the Primary Care Trust had run out of money, and she was not being paid for the work she was doing. It would be interesting to hear the experiences of others in a similar position, who cannot afford the huge fees charged by private dentists, and so highlight the failure of the Government to provide adequate dental care.
