The British Dental Association (BDA) has demanded a correction from Richard Madeley over comments he made on today's Good Morning Britain.
The veteran broadcaster fronted Tuesday's edition of the ITV news programme alongside Susanna Reid. The two were joined by Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire to discuss the major news stories of the day.
Richard criticised NHS dentists during the discussion as he claimed patients were being forced to go private to receive certain treatments. He said: "I was talking to a private dentist only last week, who was saying that so many people now have to go private because NHS dentists are not capable of doing extractions anymore.
