Lothian’s Dental Crisis Exposed | Edinburgh News

Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description

Over 200,000 people in Lothian haven’t seen a dentist in five years—26% of NHS-registered patients—raising urgent alarms about deteriorating oral health. With a shrinking number of NHS dentists, many are turning to dangerous DIY solutions. While 37% haven’t visited in two years, kids under 18 fare better (only 7% in five years), but still need attention. Calls are mounting for NHS Lothian and the Scottish Government to act before preventable dental crises worsen.
