As the crisis in English dental care continues, here are four things that might start to reverse the crisis:
1. Give everyone the right to register with an NHS dentist;

3. A new dental contract more focussed on prevention;
4. Overhaul funding of NHS dental care.
To some extent simple, but not necessarily politically plausible?
