YORK and the rest of the UK is on the brink of a dental crisis because of a chronic shortage of National Health Service dentists.

Which? is campaigning to improve NHS dental services and you can support this by sharing your story with us. Was it easy or hard to find an NHS dentist? Did you have any difficulty registering yourself or your child? Have you had to opt for private dental treatment?

To demand NHS dental services, log on to www.which.co.uk/dentists to send your message directly to political party leaders.

Or write to Which?, Dentistry Department, PO Box 44, Hertford SG14 1SH.
