Following the piloting of new dental contracts between 2011 - 2013, the government remains committed to reforming dentistry in the UK. In order to deliver improvements, the government has outlined plans to deliver more consistent standards, higher quality, more affordable services and better health outcomes for dental patients across the UK. In February 2012, £28 million in extra funding for dentistry was announced in a major  government drive to increase the number of people able to access an N.H.S dentist. According to the Department of Health 820,000 more people have already been given access to an N.H.S dentist since May 2010, with this funding expected to bring that number closer to 1 million. In February 2013, NHS England published Securing Excellence in Commissioning N.H.S Dental Services. Subsequently, since April 2013, N.H.S England have had commissioning responsibility for all NHS dental services including primary, community, secondary, out of hours and urgent care. Going forward, N.H.S. dental services will be based on local oral health needs assessments which will be developed by public health teams in local authorities. Additionally, in February 2014 N.H.S England launched Improving Dental Care and Oral Health – A Call to Action to stimulate discussion about the changes that are needed in how the N.H.S commissions and delivers dental services in the interests of improving quality and outcomes for patients. Furthermore, changes to the dentistry regulatory system mean that all providers of primary dental care services in England that carry out regulated activities must now be registered with the Care Quality Commission. the Future of UK Dentistry 2014 forum will provide a timely opportunity to analyse the changing landscape of dental services in the UK. Delegates will hear from leading policy figures and best practice case studies discussing successful methods for delivering high quality dentistry and the challenges of implementing a new dental contract.
