Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of dental practices are offering routine NHS dental services.

Routine face-to-face National Health Service dental services resumed from 8 June with the aim of increasing levels of service in line with infection control procedures and personal protective equipment requirements. All dental practices are able to offer routine face to face treatment that is clinically necessary. Over 600 Urgent Dental Care Centres set up at the height of the pandemic also remain open to ensure that dental treatment needed urgently can be accessed while practices expand their services as safely as possible.
