Dentistry is not England's Forte

The problem is that there are not enough dentists in the state system and it's getting worse as dentists are leaving. In April alone 2000 dentists left to start a private practice. They blame their departure on the efforts of the system to make them perform a set number of procedures a year. Now only 49% of English adults are registered with the system.

Because of the shortage people are doing their own dentistry, as Mr. Kelly demonstrates his work here.
He is not alone. A company selling emergency dental supplies sold 12,000 jars of replacement supplies to the general populace in one week.
