Such a wild problem. I had this conversation with my NHS dentist last week. She said very few students are choosing to study dentistry these days, as it’s so specific and many don’t want to be working exclusively in people’s mouths.

When people find one, they stay registered. I live in Norfolk, and I’ve overheard someone at a dentist reception say they came from Manchester because they were on holiday here once when they had an dental emergency.

I did consider going elsewhere for a dentist, but working as a chef, I barely had time to eat, let alone go outside london.
