Can’t get a dentist? Blame the Tory Brexit
The most amazing part of this is that it probably isn’t part of a Tory NHS privatisation plan but is more likely to be an accident because Boris Johnson doesn’t understand his own Brexit.
It turns out that the UK’s chronic shortage of dentists is at least partly due to the fact that, since Brexit happened, the UK will not accept practitioners from the European Union because their qualifications don’t count.
I’m not going to go into the details but you’ll get the gist by following the link below.
Renata has qualified as a dentist both in Brazil and in Italy, in the EU. The UK needs dentists, but does not accept her qualifications.

I find myself strangely fortunate. I live somewhere that the population has been dropping for decades where we need more people but it means we have overprovision of everything – housing, schools, dentists and doctors. Much of the overprovision is or has been shut down but there has never been issues getting access to these things. The initial problem that causes this – underprovision due to excess demand – has been due to decades of ‘rationalisation’ where work kept being centralised away from some areas, particularly the North and Scotland to a few areas in the South. This has lead to a spiral of demand, underprovision, need for imported specialists and increasing demand for and prices in housing.
If only there was some way to address problems like this..
Fascist tories hate anyone who isn’t born in little england – but even this doesn’t ensure non-white women and men who were born in little england are safe from being deported! So fascist tories hate EU nationals and non-white women, children and men – all of them must be deported immediately!
As regards professionals whose qualifications are not ‘little england’ just another fascist tory excuse to keep those ‘nasty foreigners out of their pristine little england!’ One wonders how little england managed to survive economically for centuries given there was constant movement of women, children and men from other countries into little england!
Oh yes all those merchants and their families were useful to little england but now the stupid arrogant fascist tories believe we don’t need the skills and expertise of non Englander (sic) women and men! We have a limitless supply of disposable women and men who can magically become lorry drivers, dentists, doctors, teachers, nurses etc etc!!
I recommend all non ‘little englanders’ and especially EU women and men to not try to move to this backward xenophobic and fascist little backwater – other EU countries are far far better economically than little england!
My dentist told me yesterday that there are treatments she isn’t allowed to give under the NHS (I guess if I could afford to pay, there’d be no problem). Apparently this is since covid regulations were imposed.
I notice that other specialists are impossible to access too, unless you go private – I’ve been waiting for two and a half years for treatment for psoraisis. There were no problems before the pandemic . My dermatologist is still giving private treatment, which I can’t afford.
I saw a post from someone whose GP practice wouldn’t syringe her ears because of the danger from spray – but she paid a private audiology service £200 (WHAT??? £200 for a ten-minute treatment???) and it seems cash insulates practitioners from infection.
