Staff say they are struggling to get more parents to bring their children, despite a campaign.
Staff at a dental surgery in Lincolnshire said they were struggling to fill NHS appointments, despite a campaign to get more children signed up.
Practice manager Lisa Kellie, 25, said people had become used to there not being any NHS appointments."We know that the demand for all NHS dentistry is extremely high - especially in Lincolnshire", she said, adding that the Sleaford practice was now in "a really fortunate position" with eight different clinicians."People are just used to there not being any appointments since Covid," she added.
She said a lot of children born in 2018 and 2019 had missed getting their fist check-ups because of the pandemic. "It's very sad and I think parents have probably just got comfortable that it's something that is not available to them unless they go private."
