This quarterly report brings together information on NHS dental activity in England up to Q2 2012/13 and information on the number of patients seen by an NHS dentist, up to the third quarter of 2012/13.
Highlights
- A total of 29.7 million patients were seen in the 24 month period ending December 2012, an increase of 1.5 million on the March 2006 baseline.
- This represents 56.0 per cent of the population compared with the March 2006 baseline of 55.8 per cent.
The number of children seen by an NHS dentist is equal to the March 2006 baseline of 7.8 million although the percentage of children seen (69.0 per cent) is below the baseline (70.7 per cent).
There were an estimated 9.9 million Courses of Treatment (CoTs) in Q2 2012/13, a decrease of 118 thousand (1.2 per cent) on Q2 2011/12.
