Titled ‘The Future of Dentistry: Unlocking solutions to improving oral health’, the paper, by dental payment plan provider Denplan, was produced using the voices of its members.
The paper was discussed at a roundtable event on November 26, 2024, sponsored by Helen Morgan, a Liberal Democrat spokesperson for health and social care. It was attended by leaders representing 12 organisations across the dental sector.
The paper follows the National Audit Office report that revealed the previous government’s £200m rescue package to increase access to NHS dentistry in England is not on track.
Access to dental care remains a critical healthcare challenge across the UK, with recent figures revealing that 97 per cent of new patients are unable to access NHS care. Tooth decay remains the most common reason for hospital admission in children aged between five and nine years.
