A dental practice in Sunderland recently announced via Facebook that it would be withdrawing its NHS care and changing to a “fully comprehensive private practice”.

Silver & Charlton Dental wrote on Facebook, “As valued patients of our practice, providing you with the highest level of dental care is our key priority. For over four decades we have proudly provided that care as part of the NHS.

"But, lack of investment in NHS dentistry and rising costs mean we no longer feel that we can provide the level of dental care you have come to expect from us.

“Looking ahead and to ensure your oral health care is our number one priority we have made the decision to move our Fulwell Clinic away from the NHS and into a fully comprehensive private practice.
