Healthwatch Rutland says there are no longer any dental practices in the county accepting adults.

They also said there are only limited places for children.

Speaking at the AGM of Healthwatch Rutland on Tuesday last week (3/9), manager Tracey Allan-Jones said: “The situation in Rutland remains that there are no practices in Rutland accepting adults, and there is limited capacity for children.

“Public feedback to Healthwatch Rutland on dentistry has reduced over the summer, but we do not believe this is as a result of better access. We therefore have a poll running this month (October) to stimulate more feedback on people’s experiences.”

Details of the poll can be found here.
