Summary: NHS Dentist left practice

I have been a patient at the Bupa Dental Practice on Cambridge Road in Churchtown for over 15 years. The practice has gone through many changes over the years but service and care was always consistently good. However, over two years ago the dentists all changed and the new ones are not seeing NHS patients. There is only provision for children under the age of 18. I am unable to afford private dental care for my family (3 and soon to be 4 of us 18+). I am not aware of any other dental practices in the town who are taking on new NHS patients. I do not want to wait until my dental health gets to a state where I need emergency care - which appears to be the only option offered at the moment.
I know I am not alone in this situation as I hear it increasingly from people both in and out of the town. There needs to be dental provision available for all - not just those that can afford to pay for it!
