“These 2 new dental schools will help to expand dental training capacity in areas that have historically faced challenges in access to NHS dental care. This is an important step towards increasing the future dental workforce and improving access to care for patients across England.”
What Charlotte Eckhardt has said
“Tooth decay remains the leading cause of hospital admissions among five- to nine-year-olds in England, outpacing other illnesses such as acute tonsilitis. Extending the levy represents a major step towards protecting children's oral health.”

“No child should be hospitalised for a disease that is almost entirely preventable. Tooth decay is causing unnecessary pain, missed school days and avoidable hospital admissions at a higher rate in 2025 than the year before. If the government is to meet its goal of transforming the NHS dental system by 2035, it must ensure every child can see a dentist when they need to. A postcode must never dictate a child's health.”
