Discussing NHS Dental Access with the Chief Dental Officer

Chief Dental Officer

Great to meet with Jason Wong MBE, Chief Dental Officer for England, about improving dentistry, the dental contracts and fluoridation. 

Jason has worked in Lincolnshire for a number of years in Grantham and was also secretary of Lincolnshire Local Dental committee for 16 years - so he is very familiar with dentistry in our area. 

I am continuing to work on improving local NHS dental access in Sleaford and North Hykeham, including the recruitment and retention of local NHS dentists. I have long been campaigning for a dental school in Lincolnshire and I am continuing to press for better provision for rural areas.
