Letters: It's time to take NHS dentistry out of the hands of inept politicians, Telegraph, 2 January 2017 www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2017/01/02/letters-time-take-nhs-dentistry-hands-inept-politicians/
Mick Armstrong, chair of the BDA, said: "We share concerns about the failings of the current NHS dental system, and have consistently called for change with a square focus on prevention.
"Consistent failure from government should not diminish the work of NHS dentists, who are delivering high quality care for their patients in very difficult circumstances.
"The real problem here is ministerial indifference. We need to see politicians more engaged on oral health and NHS dentistry, not any further removed."
