A worrying time for Dentists?

The team at Flame Health Dentistry have been reading about the worrying news of Dentists having there NHS contracts terminated if they misinform patients about treatment options.
The UK wide dental defence organisation MDDUS is reissuing its earlier warning in light of the recently published government response.
The original OFT report, which came out in May, made recommendations with regards to a number of key areas, including direct access, complaints and the sale of private dental plans. However, the information offered to patients about the availability of NHS dentistry was highlighted as an area of particular concern.
Following the report, MDDUS emphasised the need for dentists to clarify whether charges are private or on the NHS and to ensure patient interests are put first when considering treatment.
