THE Government is constantly telling us to watch out health, to exercise, diet to fight obesity and blood pressure, stop smoking and so on and so on. And yet they fail to provide us with affordable NHS dentists.

Taking care of one's teeth is important to a person's overall health and well being, indeed many mouth and tongue cancers are found during a routine dental check. The Government is being hypocritical.
