As in other areas of health care the NHS has shaped many of the changes that have occurred in dentistry during the last 60 years. Many of the advances in technology and treatment would have occurred whether there was an NHS or not as they have been heavily influenced by global advances. However, judging by countries of similar wealth but with little publicly funded dentistry the improvement in oral health since 1948 would probably not have been as significant without the NHS and many of the developments in dental education and the increasing emphasis on team dentistry may not have evolved.

And Training

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on dentistry. Dental care professionals work in close proximity with patients, they are therefore at high risk of contracting coronavirus. As of 25th March, all routine dentistry was postponed. The pandemic has led to clinic closures, university closures and postponement of exams and interviews. This has resulted in a deficit in clinical exposure for undergraduates and trainees. Changes in examination format have been implemented to prevent delays in course completions. The GDC have reassured that measures are being put in place to reduce the effect of COVID-19 on training. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article aims to explore the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on dental education and dental training programmes in the UK.
