To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce a new NHS dental contract focused on prevention, as recommended by the Royal College of Surgeon's Faculty of Dental Surgery's report The state of children's oral health in England, published in August.
- Answer
-
The Government is committed to reforming the current National Health Service dental contract to focus on preventing, as well as treating, dental disease.
We are currently testing this new approach in 101 dental practices, known as dental prototype practices, across the country. No decisions have yet been made on wider national roll out.
