Future sustainability of NHS dentistry in Scotland, will depend on several factors, from contract reform, funding, and fair pay. We will continue to push for action to ensure dentistry can recover from the pandemic and continue to provide essential healthcare to meet the needs of the population. We will keep you updated as we continue to remind officials that without adequate funding, patients will lose out on much-needed care.
