Updated contracts agreed with dental practices in Wales during 2022, will help deal with backlogs of patients waiting to get an NHS dental appointment.
Dental practices who have signed up to the programme have agreed to see more new NHS patients as part of the reformed contract - introduced by Welsh Government to tackle the queues.
Swansea Bay’s dental practices have an expectation to see around 28,000 new patients between April 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023.
Already this has translated into 14,235 appointments being allocated to new patients.
People who are looking for an NHS dentist for routine care are advised to contact a number of practices in the area and if an appointment cannot be offered straight away, to ask to be put on their waiting list.
