Call for dentists to share evidence on alcohol harm

​The Commission on Alcohol Harm is today launching a call for evidence as part of its inquiry into alcohol harm and the changes needed to reduce the damage caused by alcohol.

The Commission will hold three oral evidence sessions across the UK later this year, and has launched a call for written evidence, with submissions welcomed before the deadline of 17 February 2020.

The Commission is interested in receiving evidence from professionals with experience of the consequences of alcohol harm, particularly those working in dentistry, who often witness the impact of excessive drinking in their work.

With excessive alcohol consumption linked to an array of oral health problems including oral cancer, tooth decay, tooth erosion and accidental dental trauma, dentists and dental nurses can provide expert insight into these areas of alcohol harm.
