Healthwatch Cornwall’s Dental Crisis Report, released today, reveals significant challenges Cornwall residents face in accessing essential dental care. Findings show long waits, lack of NHS dental availability, high private care costs, and the physical and mental toll these barriers have on individuals.
We have published the results of a cost-of-living report carried out late last year.
Described as a ‘snapshot survey’ of more than 400 people across Cornwall, it will be used as a comparator in much broader research being published by the independent health and social care watchdog in early 2025.
