Sir Ed, who is ramping up campaigning ahead of the local elections next month, wants reforms to the NHS dental contract and is pressing for additional resources for mobile dental units to visit schools, community centres and care homes.
The proposals include spending what the party says is £400m of NHS dental services funding that went unspent this year in order to boost the number of appointments."The staggering rise in dental deserts has left far too many people struggling to get an NHS dental appointment," Sir Ed said."It is heartbreaking that people are being left waiting in pain for months or even years for the dental care they need.
A spokesman said:"We are working to improve access to NHS dental care by investing more than £3bn a year.
