One woman in her 30s, Boyka, told the researchers: “We don’t have a dentist. It’s crazy. For us, it’s, like, impossible! In Ukraine the dentist industry is huge, you know, everywhere, and because it’s everywhere you just go and it’s like £10, £8, and you can clean it, whiten it like [a] Hollywood smile!

Some British families who have taken in Ukrainian refugees have noted that their guests organise dental appointments during their visits home.

          Okay yeah. But it is definitely non trivial getting care here, having lived in both countries.
