So where’s the honey?
• We are actually doing something to prevent decay
• Skill mix is evolving
• The patient has to take responsibility for their teeth
|
So how can we put the mouth
back in the body ????
• Difference between doctor and dentist?
• Generally visit the doctor when ill, visits the dentist generally
regularly to make sure they are not!!!!
• 60 % of people have attended the NHS GDP over the past 3
years.
• 15 % visit private dentist regularly.
• Challenging patients, ones that visit the dentist in frequently,
high needs hard to reach.
• 80% of decay in 20 % of the patients?
• 18% of my patients are red patients (classed as high needs!!!)
|
The future - where does
primary care home fit in?
|
80 : 20 rule
• You know the patients
• NAPC primary care home, let’s work on these patients
together.

The dental world is changing for the better.
