As is often the case, dentistry today is in a state of change. There are several challenges that need to be overcome if the profession is to effectively deliver care to patients in the immediate and long-term future.

Some of the concerns centre on NHS dentistry and the impact that the current framework is having on the profession’s ability to care for patients. Martin Woodrow, Chief Executive of the British Dental Association (BDA), considers some of the major associated issues being faced in the UK right now:

“The overwhelming challenge for NHS dentistry is being able to attract and retain a workforce. This applies across the UK. NHS dentistry is not currently an attractive place to work for many professionals. While some changes have been made to the contractual frameworks, in England those have not been enough to stem the flow of professionals seeking a better balance to their working lives. The problem has been there since 2006, but the pandemic accelerated the change we are seeing.”
