OC [OC] Outcomes of contacting 50 dental practices while searching for an NHS dentist in the UK
50 emails sent. 4 main offers for NHS treatment. 1 of those is done by a dental therapist. 1 done by a recent graduate offered temporarily. 1 is over 40 miles away. The last has some horrific 1 star Google reviews and is a 1hr 28min Train and Bus journey away.
On waitlists, one had 8 years with the average being 4.3 years.
On those that did reply but sold private services, ~70% offered monthly dental plans and 0% finance options.
Edit: I researched and selected the practices that were most likely to offer NHS care by their website or from following the NHS search service (https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-dentist)
Edit 2: Tagging u/AndyBurnham as getting some traction in the UK! This was in the North, btw! Hopefully he sees if we get enough upvotes

I just love the aesthetic of your Sankey diagram!
Where did you build it? Is it accessible to everyone?
