One woman in her 30s, Boyka, told the researchers: “We don’t have a dentist. It’s crazy. For us, it’s, like, impossible! In Ukraine the dentist industry is huge, you know, everywhere, and because it’s everywhere you just go and it’s like £10, £8, and you can clean it, whiten it like [a] Hollywood smile!

Some British families who have taken in Ukrainian refugees have noted that their guests organise dental appointments during their visits home.

    The English ruling class has a very unhealthy admiration for the USA. Unfortunately, a lot in the UK is decided by them.
    Imo the only solution would be to change the UK voting system to something less insane (and undemocratic) than the current system. Also, they’d do well to limit the proportion of politicians who were educated in one of their elite schools (even better, do away with those schools altogether)

        What, genociding the Irish and banning any form of fun by claiming enjoyment is sinful?

        Sounds like a perfect swap for slightly more availability of dentists /s
