More Worcester children seeing an NHS dentist
More children in Worcester are accessing NHS dental care, with 2,083 more children seen in the year to June 2026 than in the year to June 2024.
The number rose from 9,172 to 11,255 — an increase of almost 23%.
Worcester Labour welcomes this progress as the Labour government works to rebuild NHS dentistry, improve access and strengthen prevention.
Regular dental care helps children maintain healthy teeth and identify problems early. These figures are encouraging, but there is more to do to ensure every family can access the NHS dental care they need.
