A leap in the dark could spell the end not just to continuity of care but NHS dentistry in Wales altogether.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF NHS DENTAL CARE IN WALES (many thanks to talbot street dental practice for sharing this original post with us)

We hope the explanation below is helpful and encourages you to have your say in the WELSH GOVERNMENT’S PUBLIC CONSULTATION.

• The Welsh Government are to introduce a new NHS dental contract in Wales from April 2026 - details of which are below:

The Welsh Government has announced proposed reforms to NHS Dental Services in Wales, set to begin in April 2026. As part of this process, there is a public consultation period which ends on 19th June, 2025. This provides a valuable opportunity for patients, dental professionals, and the wider community to share their views and help shape the future of NHS dental care.

While these proposed changes are intended to improve access and efficiency within the NHS dental system, there are aspects of the new contract that raise concerns among dental professionals. We believe it’s important for our patients to understand what is being discussed and how it could potentially impact your dental care.

What These Changes Could Mean for You

• No formal patient registration: Once your oral health is considered stable, you may be referred to a central Dental Access Portal until it’s time for your next check-up in 18–24 months.

• Limited availability at recall: Due to capacity constraints, routine preventative appointments might be extended beyond the current recommended timeframes.

• Rotating care model: You may be assigned to different dental practices for your next course of treatment. While this model is aimed at increasing access, it could affect continuity of care and the opportunity to build long-term trust with a single dentist.

• No additional funding announced: Without increased investment from Welsh Government, expanding access to new patients could lead to reduced availability for those currently receiving care.

• Fee changes: NHS treatment fees for paying patients may increase under the new model.

Your Voice Matters

This consultation is a critical opportunity for everyone—patients, dental teams, and community members—to contribute feedback and help shape a new NHS Dental Service that works for all.

We strongly encourage you to get involved and make your voice heard by participating in the consultation process.

Have your say by responding to the consultation.

You can access the consultation document using this link. There is a questionnaire at the end of the document that you can fill in online, or you can fill in the survey in the document and send by email to [email protected] or download and post to Primary and Community Care Division – Dental Policy Branch, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.

We are seeking your views on proposals to reform the NHS dental services (GDS) contract in Wales.
