The closure of Bupa dental care in Bridlington has forced to cross the country to get NHS treatments.
Speaking to BBC news on the closure, local resident Pat Reynolds explained she must now make a 160-mile round trip to Leeds. She said, “We are looking at probably two hours' driving for maybe a 20-minute appointment and then the same coming back. It's a full day by the time we're done."
Following the closure, only three dental practices will operate in Bridlington.
