Foreign dentists bridge staff gap
Eastern European dentists have been brought in boost treatment for 4,000 people in Gloucestershire.

A married couple from Poland have been employed in a Cheltenham practice to meet a shortage of local dentists.

The pair have three years experience and followed an induction programme before starting work in this country.

Health authorities have already placed eight Polish dentists in needy practices in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Avon.
