The survey showed that there are just six dentists in the whole of Shropshire willing to accept new adult NHS patients.
The Lib Dem MP said the Conservative Government was neglecting the health care of residents and said new research revealed nine out of ten dentists in Shropshire were not taking new, adult patients.
"More needs to be done both to recruit extra dentists and encourage new surgeries to be set up in North Shropshire so that everyone can get the care they need.” Ms Morgan said: “The shortage of dentists is another sign of the Conservative Government’s neglect of our health system. And yet the Conservatives are still acting as if there isn’t a problem."
