The service offering dental care under general anaesthetic is “grotesquely under-resourced” around the country, a leading dentist working at Cork University Dental Hospital has warned.

Children and adults with disabilities as well as people with severe anxiety or other health issues need this service for having dental care. This could be extractions, fillings or other care.
