But Claire Christian admits there's still work to be done
The health minister says seeing the dental waiting list reduce is one of her proudest achievements since taking up the role.
In May last year, almost 6,500 Manx residents were waiting to be assigned to an NHS dentist.
That figure dropped to around 1,500 by November 2025, but the latest figures from Manx Care show it's since risen to just over 2,200.
While Claire Christian welcomes the progress, she admits there's still work to be done:
