Nice to meet @annagelderdmp.bsky.social to talk about what we can do to ensure all who need it can access NHS dental care. From diabetes to dementia, poor oral health has huge knock-on effects on our overall health. It’s time we stop treating dentistry as an optional extra @thebda.bsky.social

Pleasure to meet Dr @alpinkerton.bsky.social discuss the need for urgency & ambition in tackling the NHS dentistry crisis. Your 11-year-old constituent who struggled to access help with severe dental pain is one of millions paying the price for the Government’s failure to act. @thebda.bsky.social

Thank you for your time today @terryjermymp.bsky.social For the sake of your constituents and millions of others struggling to access NHS dental care across the country the long-overdue reform of NHS dentistry must not be allowed to be kicked into the long grass. @thebda.bsky.social

Lovely to speak to @joshuareynoldssl6.bsky.social in Parliament about how we can improve access to NHS dentistry for patients, including by cutting red tape & overregulation. Great to have your support as we fight for a reformed NHS dental system backed by sustainable funding @thebda.bsky.social

Real pleasure to @samrushworthmp.bsky.social in Parliament. We couldn’t agree more about the need for investment and more urgency in tackling the dental access crisis. With 14m people in England unable to access an NHS dentist, this issue can’t be kicked into the long grass. @thebda.bsky.social

Nice to speak to @charlotte-cane-mp.bsky.social MP today. Thank you for your support as we call for sustainable funding NHS dentistry, and urgent reform of the dysfunctional contract driving the ongoing access crisis. @theBDA

Thank you for our constructive discussion @sarahbool.bsky.social MP about how to ensure we keep dental practices in the NHS, and the impact of poor oral health on the outcomes of patients with diabetes and other conditions. @thebda.bsky.social

Nice to catch up with Dr @peterprinsleymp.bsky.social MP on the positive developments in dentistry - and the long road ahead as we fight to make sure everyone who needs to access an NHS dentist can do so. @thebda.bsky.social

Absolute pleasure to meet @anneliesemidgleymp.bsky.social MP to discuss the reasons behind the dental access crisis, and what needs to be done to end it. Really looking forward to working with you to press for change your constituents desperately need. @thebda.bsky.social

Nice to meet @jacobcolliermp.bsky.social today on why the number of people accessing NHS dentistry in Staffordshire dropped by 30% since before the pandemic, and what needs to be done to turn things around for those struggling to access the care they need across the country. @thebda.bsky.social

Pleasure to meet today with @martinwrigley.bsky.social MP in Parliament.Thank you for speaking up for both dentists and patients, and setting out the huge societal cost of failing to properly fund NHS dentistry.

Great to speak to @pauldaviesmp.bsky.social today about why access to NHS dentistry is a crucial issue, morally, economically and politically. We need urgency and ambition to ensure everyone who needs to see an NHS dentist can do so. @thebda.bsky.social

We have not sent any Christmas Cards this year as my wife is engaged in lots of work with the Homeless and we have donated the money on cards stamps and postage to this worthy cause. I hope you understand. But wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2026.

Lovely to catch-up with @simonforstroud.bsky.social just now. As a GP, he gets the pressures primary care professionals are facing. Thank you for your ongoing support in pressing for urgent reform and investment into NHS dentistry.

Great to catch up with the force of nature that is @rachelgilmourld.bsky.social Pleased to hear about progress in access to urgent dental care secured locally, but I know you won’t rest until everyone who needs an NHS dentist in can access one always happy to assist @thebda.bsky.social

Grateful to @helenmaguiremp.bsky.social for meeting to discuss the way forward for NHS dentistry. We spoke particularly about how NHS access is affecting military families and colleagues delivering care to new recruits @thebda.bsky.social

Great to sit down with @johnmilnehorsham.bsky.social to highlight how underfunding is pushing NHS dentistry to breaking point. Dentists want to provide NHS care, but the system makes it unsustainable. For the sake of our patients, this must change.

Thank you @clivejonesmp.bsky.social for your time and support in our fight to make NHS dentistry available to all those who need it. Too many people are left without access to essential care because the system is broken. @thebda.bsky.social

Lovely to meet @mariecgoldman.bsky.social in Bournemouth to talk about improving access to NHS dentists. Dentistry should not be a luxury or an optional extra, it’s an essential part of healthcare.

Great to speak to Claire Young MP @claireyoungmp.bsky.social about how unsustainable and unfair NHS dentistry is for both dentists and patients. We can’t fix this system without reform and adequate funding. @thebda.bsky.social

Pleasure to meet @ldbrianmathewmp.bsky.social at @LibDemConf to talk about what needs to be done to end the crisis in access to NHS dentistry in Wiltshire and across the country. @thebda.bsky.social

Started off a busy day at @LibDems.org.uk speaking at a panel on the cost of accessing dentistry for patients with chronic conditions. I argued that unless and until we reform and properly fund NHS dentistry, discussions about cost will unfortunately remain, for too many people, purely academic.

Nice to meet @chriswebbmp.bsky.social in Parliament to talk about our shared ambition to deliver access to NHS dentistry to all those who need it, and how best to achieve it. Very grateful for your time and support on this crucial issue.

A useful meeting today with @chrismcdonaldmp.bsky.social , discussing the need for urgency and ambition in reforming NHS dentistry, for the sake of people of Stockton and millions of others currently unable to access the care they need.

Pleasure to meet with @johnwhitbymp.bsky.social today, to discuss the need to get on with dental reform and ensure dentistry gets its fair share of the extra money the Government gave the NHS at the Spending Review. Thank you for your time and support.

Lovely to speak to @rachelgilmourld.bsky.social about delays in rolling out extra urgent appointments & the need for more urgency in overhauling the failed NHS dental contract. Thanks for continuing to fight for the change your constituents - and millions of others - desperately need.

Nice to meet @bambosmp.bsky.social today to discuss the challenges facing NHS dentistry in Southgate and Wood Green & across the country. We welcome the Government’s commitment to bold action to end the crisis in our sector. Your constituents and our patients deserve no less. @thebda.bsky.social

Pleasure to meet @joplatt.bsky.social to discuss the crisis in NHS dentistry. We welcome the Government’s promise for reform the dental contract. They must deliver on it without delay - the millions of people unable to get the care they need cannot afford to wait any longer @thebda.bsky.social
