Dentists unable to work during their asylum process call for red tape to be cut so they can help.

Across the UK people have been hit by lengthy waiting lists, with some resorting to pulling out their own teeth as they struggle to find a dentist.

At the same time, skilled dentists are “sitting in their homes” desperate to help, but hindered by red tape.

The chair of a refugee charity described the situation as “ludicrous”, as the government launched a plan to simplify the route into work for overseas dentists.

    Oh god, please let them contribute. As it stands currently, we’ve got a 3-5 year wait for access to dentistry where I live :(

    I doubt that the current Tory government will do anything to help the NHS Dentistry situation especially if the private health care companies lobby them to stop this happening.
