NHS dentistry is at “death’s door”, the Health Secretary has told MPs as he restated his commitment to rolling out an extra 700,000 urgent dental appointments.

Wes Streeting said the dental appointments would be delivered “as fast as we can”, whilst also pledging to fix the “front door” to the NHS with additional funding for GP surgeries.
