Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made a comparative assessment of dental treatments available through the NHS and private dentists.
This question was answered on 11th December 2018
Dental treatment that is clinically necessary to protect and maintain good oral health is available on the National Health Service. As in other areas, cosmetic treatments are not usually made available through the NHS. Dentists providing care under the NHS exercise clinical judgement in deciding what treatment is clinically required.
