“At local level, it’s different."
BRITAIN’S dental care crisis is now so bad that 6 per cent of adults go abroad for treatment, a poll revealed today.
The high cost of treatments in this country is the main reason for seeking care abroad, according to a new report by the General Dental Council (GDC), which regulates dental professionals.
People also said they had tried and failed to join a regular dental practice at home or had been unable to book an appointment locally.
