POLL: Have you seen a dentist in the last year?
Dental care in the isles was thrown into turmoil this week when a major practice announced it was de-registering NHS patients.

The health board revealed it had been under pressure, working at almost 50 per cent less capacity compared to pre-Covid workforce levels. However, 70 per cent of the population was registered with the service.
