Alison Jones Dental Surgery - Cardiff

Congratulations to our lovely hygienist Emma and her husband Jacques.

Reforms in Wales could spell the end of the family dentist.

And on prevention, outcomes and access to care, this unpopular and untested plan risks achieving the exact opposite of the Welsh Government's worthy sounding goals.

❌Only 2% of dentists feel that changes would support the long-term sustainability of NHS dentistry in Wales.

❌Just 2% agree that reforms would improve population health, with only 5% saying that they would enhance prevention. 2% feel reforms would support continuity of care, with the same proportion believing it would enhance early detection of oral health conditions. 8% say that reforms would actually improve access to NHS care. A mere 6% think the proposed system would provide good value for money for the taxpayer.

❌ Dentists have been left in an invidious position, that risks an exodus from the NHS. 42% would be unwilling to go back to working under the historic discredited system of targets going forward. 72% would not be willing to work under the proposed reforms as they stand.

❌73% of dentists say they are likely to reduce their NHS commitment in the event the model is imposed next year. 64% say they are likely to go fully private.

Ministers must show they are willing to listen - and avoid a leap in the dark that could destroy NHS dentistry in Wales.
