Public’s confusion over ‘right’ to register with an NHS dentist

Almost two decades after the public lost their right to register permanently with an NHS dentist, new research shows two-thirds believe this right exists.

• Over half of people would like a GP-style registration system for the future.
• People continue to face access barriers, with 27% of those unable to find an NHS dentist having to go private.

As the government develops its ‘Dental Rescue Plan’, Healthwatch England is calling for fundamental reform of NHS dentistry to give the public a right to register with a local NHS dentist and access ongoing check-ups and appointments.
