The Walthamstow MP said: “It’s little wonder that one study shows that 15 per cent of homeless people have pulled their own teeth out.”  Charity Groundswell researched more than 260 homeless


people in London last year.  Ms Creasy said: “Will the minister meet me to look at what we can do to change this and make sure that her promises aren’t toothless.”  Health Minister Jackie


Doyle-Price agreed to the meeting and added: “I agree with her, notwithstanding what expectations we have of GPs and dentists in this area, it is quite clear that homeless people are not


always getting access to the treatment that they should have.” Following Ms Creasy’s comments, the British Dental Association joined calls for action.  Charlotte Waite, chairwoman of England


Community Dental Services, said: “Current policy on NHS dentistry is failing vulnerable patients.”
