Some Northern Ireland patients face having their dental practice axed in a move set to worsen the ongoing crisis in accessing NHS dentists.
Bupa Dental Care is set to cut 85 dental practices in a move that will affect 1,200 staff across the UK, amid a national shortage of dentists and “systemic” challenges across the industry.
Among the practices earmarked for closure are Total Orthodontics in Downpatrick and Bupa Dental Care on Campsie Road in Omagh.
