The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance published in 2004 recommends that individuals are seen by a dentist at intervals set on the basis of their individual oral health. For children the range is three months to 12 months. The NICE guidance can be accessed at the following link:<\/p>

https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg19<\/a><\/p>

NHS England is responsible for ensuring access to National Health Service dental services and treatment.<\/p>

Latest data published by NHS Digital shows that 7 million children were seen by a dentist in the 12 month period ending 31 December 2018, which equates to 58.6% of the child population.<\/p>

NHS England has developed two initiatives are directly targeting children\u2019s oral health. NHS England\u2019s Starting Well \u201913 areas\u2019 programme is working in 13 high needs areas to reach children most at risk of tooth decay who are not already under the care of a dentist. NHS England has also introduced Starting Well \u2018Core\u2019, this aims to reach very young children (aged 0-2) and is championed by the Chief Dental Officer.<\/p>

Public Health England\u2019s Water Fluoridation Health monitoring report for England 2018 provides the most recent comparative assessment of the effect on dental health of water fluoride concentration.<\/p>

For example, this report found that if five-year-olds with the most tooth decay drank fluoridated water they would have 28% less tooth decay and be 45 to 68% less likely to need teeth removed in hospital.<\/p>

The report\u2019s findings are that water fluoridation is an effective and safe public health measure that reduces inequalities. This report can be viewed at the following link:<\/p>
