Making it easier to see a NHS dentist is one of James' priorities. He successfully secured a new practice in Lynn which has led to thousands of NHS appointments but more needs to be done.
James will continue to hold the NHS to account to improve access, ensure investment supports children's services, more appointments, and emergency provision. He is also campaigning for a dental training school at the UEA and apprenticeships at CWA.
Seeing a dentist
- Anyone who requires urgent dental care and is not registered at a dental practice or needs to see a dentist out of hours, should call NHS 111.
- Only go to A&E in serious circumstances, such as: severe pain, heavy pain & injuries to the fade, mouth or teeth. Anyone not sure whether they need to go to A&E, contact NHS 111, who will be able to advise.
- If after contacting several dental surgeries anyone cannot find a dentist accepting NHS patients, call NHS England's Customer Contact Centre on 0300 311 2233.
