We do not hold data on the wait times for domiciliary care or the number of appointments carried out by Community Dental Services (CDS).

Domiciliary dental services are commissioned locally by integrated care boards to support those who are unable to access high street dental practices due to medical, physical, or psychological conditions. This is largely through CDSs, which carry the required expertise and equipment to treat individuals who are housebound or living in care settings.
