A YouGov poll which spoke to more than 2,000 people found more than 10% of people had attempted "DIY dentistry" - with more than half of those having carried it out in the last year.

    I like how you can read this and get the correct idea (underfunded NHS to cause exactly this) or the right wing chud idea of “derp derp they just need to privatize everything and kick out those damn immigrants and everything will be resolved! Derp!”

    Everything is shit

        That’s a stretch even by normal weirdo right wing standards. Maybe like DURING the “lockdowns” (which never really happened in the UK to my knowledge. It was like the US where they said a thing but didn’t do anything and every business claimed to be essential so nothing really happened…) maybe you could argue “these lockdowns are causing unnecessary backlog, doctors aren’t coming to work, everyone’s teeth are rotting!” (Which, again, there was like MAYBE a couple weeks-few months period where shit was fucky in the US and to my knowledge similar in the UK).

        I don’t even know why I’m bothering to dig for logic in what is just a “I didn’t like mask! Mask was bad! China virus fake! But also real!” mindset.

    But have you considered clapping to the dentists while further privatising the NHS? That’ll surely help!

      That’s right, also better put some ads on buses to make sure people know that something’s being done.
