'Trying to find an NHS dentist near Carlisle is like pulling teeth'
OUR dentist has gone private. Same happened to our neighbour’s.
I cannot find a local NHS dentist that is taking on patients.
I just phoned the NHS England helpline and they confirmed that there are no NHS dentists taking on patients within a 30 mile radius of Carlisle.
How has this terrible state of affairs occurred?
The Government has been in power for 12 years.
There is no excuse.
