Written Question
Dental Services: Contracts
Wednesday 28th January 2026

Asked by: John Hayes (Conservative - South Holland and The Deepings)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment has been made of the impact of recent changes to the dental contract on patients’ access to routine dental care.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The reforms will prioritise those with the greatest need, shifting care away from clinically unnecessary check-ups. An impact assessment will be published on the reforms from April 2026.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance on recall intervals states that a healthy adult with good oral health needs to see a dentist once every two years, and a child once every year.
