Urgently implement fundamental dental contract reform to address access crisis
Recommendation
Fundamental reform of the dental contract is essential and must be urgently implemented, not only to address the crisis of access in the short-term, but to ensure a more sustainable, equitable and prevention-focussed system for the future. We are concerned that any further delay will lead to more dentists leaving the NHS and exacerbate the issues patients are experiencing with accessing services. (Paragraph 50) 34 NHS dentistry
