Filling the gaps in dental provision
This report calls for a complete overhaul of NHS dentistry in England through the introduction of a dental voucher for adults worth £150 a year which can be used with any dental professional towards dental treatment or towards the cost of a dental insurance policy. It proposes that all registered dentists would be required to accept the vouchers under the terms of a revised General Dental Council licence. They would also be required to accept children at current NHS England dental rates of reimbursement from the Department of Health and Social Care which would be indexed to inflation over time.
