Parliament is debating the future of NHS dentistry – make sure your MP is there.
On Monday 15 June 2026, MPs will debate the future of NHS dentistry in the House of Commons.
This is a crucial opportunity for Parliament to address one of the biggest health concerns facing communities across the UK: access to NHS dental care.
Too many people are struggling to find an NHS dentist, waiting too long for treatment, or travelling significant distances to access care. For many families, access to NHS dentistry has become increasingly difficult, leading to avoidable pain, worsening oral health and greater pressure on other parts of the NHS.

Why this debate matters
Millions of people continue to face barriers to accessing NHS dental care.
