Your views on NHS dentists

Sir - I am currently chairing a County Council Dentistry Topic Group whose aim is to report on the strengths - and weaknesses - of the NHS Dental Service in Hertfordshire.

Some weeks ago a county press release asked people to let us know of their experience of the dental service.

To date four people have responded, hardly a serious sample from which to form any conclusions.

Are we to assume that there is satisfaction with the service, or is there discontentment which we need to identify?

I can only ask that anybody who feels they have had a noteworthy experience of NHS dentistry, be it good or bad, to contact me.
