The information requested is not available. Dental training in the United Kingdom comprises a dental degree, followed by dental foundation training which qualifies dentists to work in the National Health Service. Once included on the NHS Dental Performers List, no record is maintained by NHS England of the amount of NHS dental activity that each dentist undertakes.
