Dentistry: True scale of crisis in Wales unknown, report finds

A woman who had to wait a year to get an appointment for her daughter because she did not have an NHS dentist herself.

Another in limbo after her dentist moved away half-way through a root canal treatment.

These are just some of the problems people are facing when it comes to accessing NHS dental care in Wales.

But the true scale of the problem is unknown, according to the Senedd's Health and Social Care Committee.

It said there is a lack of clarity on the number of patients waiting for check-ups or treatment.
