General election 2019: Labour vows to end dental check-up charges

Band one - check up, scale and polish and any X-raysBand three - all treatments in band one and two plus crowns, dentures and bridges

The figures also do not cover those who get care from specialist community teams, such as those with mental health problems, learning disabilities and some people in care homes.Labour has pointed to figures suggesting one in five delays going because they cannot afford to see dentists, but that is from research a decade ago.In theory, free checks should make a difference.

But he also said workforce problems needed to be addressed if access was going to improve significantly.

Check-up is not the same as treatment, which we will all have to pay for.

And also give 500 nectar points with each filling

jeremycorbyn If I vote for you can you ask xboxuk majornelson if I can have a free Xbox Scarlett next year. While you are in the mood to give things away for free. Quality of life and all that.

HouseofCommons Labour are looking to scrap dental check ups altogether! Their revolutionary ' Free False Teeth for All ' policy will be fully costed and expected to be no more than £2billion per year, to be added to the public debt!

A complete set of Simon Cowell Hollywood white implants please .....

Why? The Brits are known to have worst teeth! Are you telling me they all along had dental care? Then they had worst dentists!

Labour=dentist free visits,education for adults...the list is endless!! I’m astounded. Where exactly is Corbyn’s calculator? He’s missing a decimal point somewhere I think! At least though we have the rich to pay more tax!...Except we won’t have as they will all leave the UK👍🏼

Can’t even get in to a dentist let alone pay for a damn check up.

Promises promises. So easy to break when you don't sign a contract. Verbal nothingness.

The amount of bullsh** flowing from Labour mouths right now, they are going to need some serious dental cleaning.

That is nice free dental check ups good to know what you can't afford

The expensive part is the recommended treatment after you get the check up.

Cost of a dental exam in my part of the USA (Fargo, North Dakota)-- at least $100 / £77 That does not include x-rays Cost of a crown-- at least $1100/ £852 Your dental care in the UK is an absolute bargain

Is there anything they arent making free?

would still rather cancel Brexit instead.

Nothing is free

1.4trillion, don't think that will be enough!

🤣 They really are a joke. How do they expect anyone to take them seriously. There's bigger issues than free check-ups. Ok there are people who can't afford a check-up. Personally I don't need a free check-up and I would rather that money went to a more urgent cause.

When will people ever learn 🙄

UKLabour

. . . Let's all take a moment to remember the fact that it was them fuckers who introduced them in the first place. . . .

Wait...people in the r of uk pay for this It’s Free in Scotland, along with prescriptions & personal care. Fancy that, the Scottish government leading the way!!

They should always have been free because us Plebiscites have paid more than enough in taxes & contributions into the system for them to be so. However, once they were free but the system was abused & dentists drilled into many peoples teeth to quite literally FILL their pockets!

Corbyn is a freak mind you everyone in parliament is i think

How can they get it so wrong? It's not the charge for the checkup that's the problem, it's that there are no fecking NHS dentists and so no NHS dentistry. To sort that out they need to spend a lot of money on dentists to make private practise much less enticing.

A free dental scheme for everyone costing £450 million? Ridiculous. Where’s the money tree? A train line making it 20 mins quicker getting from Leeds to London for a relative few - £80,000 million. Yep, that’s fine. We can afford that one.

Free fish and chips every Friday too!!

Teeth continue to be a national embarrassment

It's OVER for UKLabour They are now staring at an historic defeat, possibly their biggest EVER It will take A GENERATION OR MORE for them to recover from a likely 150+ seat Tory win. GeneralElection2019

YUP! They will scrap it by putting £2400 a year on your tax! JUST HOW STUPID DOES LABOUR THINK THE BRITISH PEOPLE ARE

Hmmm. Seems like a nice idea. How much will you charge people if they don’t turn up for their free appointment? How many more dentists will stop taking NHS patients because of this?

How about the party that eventually gets in power deliveries on the promises made or faces a prison sentence for deceiving the British voters?

Can they make it that I don’t have to pay my tv license, mortgage and car insurance too , oh and while they’re at it can they get me a winning lotto ticket so I can afford a house in Aberdeenshire please

This Labour opposition are desperate. Like a football team losing with 1 minute to go they are throwing everything forward, even the goalkeeper. They know they will be heavily defeated in the election so they are making wild, reckless, radical, unaffordable, uncosted promises.

Another bnp policy taken by labour

Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed today, if Labour win the general election, that everything that people normally have to pay for will in fact be paid for by the state.

look at this. Here in Australia our government has decided that our teeth are not part of our body so they are not included at all on medicare. I can no longer afford to go to the dentist.

Nothing in life is free

This is the Royal you are looking for... PrinceAndrew

‘Taxpayer funded teeth MOT’s’ and if anyone calls a checkup a ‘teeth MOT’ I’m genuinely worried about them 👀

can I get free protein next please jeremycorbyn

Beware of politicians offering free 'stuff'. You just might not be able to pay for it.

Free broadband free dental check ups, how about free electricity and water next.... 🙄🙏

well in fairness (but watch the Conservatives jump all over this) it contradicts all party arguments nhs is free at the point of entry ?

Everything is going to free Woo hoo!

Teeth MOTs? What degenerate wrong that headline. Are checkups a foreign concept for the BBC?

😂😂😂😂

Free ice cream on a Friday and they have my vote.

It’s Tory remainers – not Labour leavers – who are the real key to this election | Paula SurridgeA third of 2017 Conservative voters also voted remain. Will fear of Jeremy Corbyn keep them away from the Lib Dems? asks academic Paula Surridge I can’t believe that UKLabour voters could ever vote Tory after 10 years of cuts, freezes, universal credit, bedroom tax, attacks on labour boroughs etc EssexHero Yes Tory Remainers and they need to be politely ‘wooed’. The Tory party they’ve voted for doesn’t exist any more. So we must ask them to lend their vote to the most likely candidate to beat the Tory party, so the Tories lies and rebuild without the ERG. This requires tact It has to be the lib dems
