DADDS dental surgery in Queensberry Street has closed after a change in ownership leaving more than 4,000 people hunting treatment
Thousands more dental patients have been told they will need to pay up for a private plan or look elsewhere for NHS treatment as the scale of the crisis in the region deepens.
South Scotland Labour MSP Colin Smyth branded it “terrible” news adding: “Sadly no-one in our region will be remotely surprised that once again thousands of people are losing their access to NHS dentistry.” Ms Harper said: “This is a situation which has been rapidly declining – it is unacceptable and we must see urgent action from NHS Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Government and partners to find a solution.”
“Unless both governments face up to this crisis in our area, it is only a matter of time before no adult in our region has NHS dental care.”
