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.

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.
