A dentist shortage across the UK has led a group of food banks to bring in a special bus to treat adults and children for free. Anna Collinson met some of the team behind charity Dentaid who said high demand in Newcastle meant it was making a five-day visit, which was the longest time it had spent in one place. The Department for Health and Social Care said its Dental Recovery Plan included rolling out mobile dental vans to areas where access was more difficult.
