<p>In July 2022, we announced a package of dental system improvements to increase
access for National Health Service dental patients and make NHS dentistry more attractive
to practices.</p><p>NHS England has negotiated amendments to the NHS dental contract
with the British Dental Association and other stakeholders. These improvements, which
came into effect in November 2022, include enabling commissioning of up to 110% of
contracted Units of Dental Activity to increase NHS care; fairer remuneration for
practices providing complex treatment within current Band 2 treatments; and removing
barriers around use of staff skills mix in NHS dentistry teams.</p><p>We will announce
our plan for further reform of the NHS dental system later this year. It will outline
a number of additional actions across a number of areas to support and recover NHS
dentistry.</p>
