@iangordon1959 @GMB @NHSEngland Difficult to understand how people who are usually self employed could be forced to take a contract. It just shows how appalling that contract must be.

Congratulations to all the successful candidates. @theBDA will continue to be at the forefront of efforts to make 21st century dentistry in the UK the best it can be for our patients. Letās hope government has the same ambition. Stronger together.

Thank you to @theBDA team for presenting further evidence to the AFPRB on the current issues affecting dentists working in the Armed Forces. Current AF Dental Officer salaries remain well behind taxable incomes reported by GDS dentists for 2022/23.

Excellent points made by Nick Marshall, recently elected to @TheBDA Board. With some imagination and investment the government could do so much more to reduce the currently increasing oral health inequalities.
š¬š§ 'British Teeth' are a total myth. šŗšøAcademics have found Americans of working age are missing more teeth. Decent care for the many beats 'Hollywood Smiles' for the few. But decades of progress is at risk unless Government promises on prevention and NHS dentistry are kept.

After @wesstreeting has said āNHS dentistry is at deathās door,ā how can a real pay cut possibly revive it?
Ministers have now approved a real pay cut for dentists in England, after record-breaking delays. Read more about the uplift here:
