Tell us about your experiences accessing dental care during the pandemic

Covid has changed almost every aspect of life in Wales.

Trying to stop transmission of the virus has led to a different approach to seeing healthcare professionals across the board.

Because of the backlog of patients waiting for check-ups, leading dentist Dr Russell Gidney warned we may never return to six-monthly appointments.

NHS Wales figures show courses of dental treatment dropped by over three quarters in 2020-21.
