'We couldn't see an NHS dentist so we pulled out our own teeth'

'We couldn't see an NHS dentist so we pulled out our own teeth' A couple in need of dental care say they had to pull out their own teeth because no NHS dentist will treat them.

A BBC News analysis of 2,500 dental practices on the NHS Choices website found half were not accepting new adult NHS patients, while two-fifths were not accepting new child NHS patients.

The British Dental Association (BDA) said the figures reflected an "emerging crisis" in dental care in England.

NHS England said 95% of people seeking an appointment could get one. BBC News
