From the latest Primary Care Bulletin NHS England has published an updated clinical standard that sets out national expectations for children and young people’s oral healthcare, using a structured, level-based model of care.
The oral health and dental care for children and young people clinical standard covers key areas, including care allocation, referral and triage, anxiety management, sedation and general anaesthetic pathways, safeguarding, governance, and the role of paediatric managed clinical networks. It includes recommended performance indicators and reflects closer working with integrated neighbourhood teams.
The standard applies to all providers of oral healthcare for children and young people, across primary, community, secondary and tertiary dental services. Read the Standard.
