Under consideration PE2187: Reinstate 6-monthly dental check-ups for state pensioners

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to reinstate 6-monthly dental check-ups for state pensioners.

Background information

At my age, my teeth need more attention than ever.
It was 14 months between my last 2 check-ups as my dentist went sick when I was due to attend.
In between these check-ups, both my wife and I needed dental treatment.
I feel I am being pushed towards going private.
