England's NHS Dental Care Crisis. Can it be fixed?

UDA system is not fit for purpose, even less efficacious than the fee per item in Scotland, at least there they have some semblance of sensible remuneration. Entire system needs revamped.

Definitely dentists shouldn't be paid the same for 1 or 20 fillings, that's ridiculous. I think they should be paid per filling. The prices however should be more affordable comparing to private dentistry which can make people bankrupt at the current state. For a root canal and a crown you would be looking at least £1500 which is someone's wage. For one tooth. I don't mind paying, but not that much as I know in other countries private care isn't that expensive like in the UK. Ok, make it more expensive than Eastern European countries, make it according to UK wages, but don't make people choose between teeth and essential life expenses. That is why more and more people are going abroad for dental treatment which isn't convenient, requires time off from work, requires paying for accommodation. This honestly needs sorting, UK should be a developed country but dental care is more accessible in third world countries.
