New Dentists Just Part Of The Solution To Problems, Says BDA

The British Dental Association (BDA) has given a broad welcome to today"s announcement of the award of a tender for 38 new dentists in Northern Ireland as part of the solution to the problems some patients face accessing care. But the BDA has also warned that this is not the whole solution to the problems facing Health Service dentistry. Also required, says the BDA, are full support for the more than 800 dentists already working in Northern Ireland and a new contract that allows dentists to provide the kind of modern, preventive care they are trained to do. Dr Claudette Christie, Director for BDA Northern Ireland, said: "The problems facing some patients who wish to access Health Service dentistry have been well recognised since 2007 and the opening of new dental surgeries staffed by new practitioners is a welcome step towards addressing them. "However, while this is welcome news, it is not the sole solution to the problems dentists and their patients face. Also important is that the dentists Northern Ireland does have are properly supported. Today"s announcement recognises both the importance of prevention and the significant cost of providing care. The BDA is currently negotiating a new contract which we hope will support a preventive approach." British Dental Association
