During a recent episode of ‘Good Morning Britain,’ presenters Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid welcomed a guest who had not seen a dentist in over 15 years. The guest, whose name was not disclosed, shared his struggles with dental issues and the desperate measures he had taken to alleviate his pain.
Madeley expressed concern, asking the guest if he had tried to get an appointment with an NHS dentist. The guest explained that he had attempted to secure an appointment but had been unsuccessful. He had been told that he could see a dentist privately, but the cost of the work he needed was prohibitive.
As the interview progressed, Madeley asked the guest to open his mouth wide so that he could insert a tiny camera and record the inside of the guest’s mouth. However, the camera malfunctioned, much to the relief of Susanna Reid.
The segment sparked a range of reactions from viewers, with some expressing concern and sympathy for the guest, while others criticized Madeley’s decision to film the inside of his mouth. The interview highlighted the ongoing crisis in NHS dentistry and the challenges faced by those who cannot afford private dental care.
