Should all non-cosmetic dentistry be available to all under the NHS?

[MrStuden]

<p>The above is from another thread, but it brought a long-held view of mine back to mind. I support the idea of the NHS, it needs changing &amp; improving in various ways, but the principle is a very good one. But... it seems manifestly absurd to me to pretend that general dental requirements aren't a medical need and that they shouldn't be treated as others are.<br><br>I think that all non-cosmetic dentistry should fall under the NHS's purview for everyone, as with other medical needs, which is not currently the case. View's?<br></p>
