Excellent move. We should encourage all healthcare related organisations to act. The lack of suitable moderation & promotion of dangerous misinformation should not be supported.

NHS Dentists don’t go on strike we just quietly shift the balance of our work. With continually rising costs, & huge professional fees the only option is to shift business focus towards private care. Increased litigation risk & treatment complexities adds to the move away from NHS dentistry.
