All services are expected to start on 1st April 2020. The Community Dental Service is expected to provide patient centred clinical services in a primary care setting for patients who are unable to access and obtain routine dental care in a general dental practice setting because of some impairment, disability and/or complex medical condition. The aim of the service will be to improve oral health and reduce the oral health inequalities of people in Derbyshire Nottinghamshire (excluding Bassetlaw) who have a physical, sensory, intellectual, mental, medical, psychological and/or emotional or social impairment or disability or more often a combination of these. Domiciliary Dental Services are concerned with providing and enabling the improvement of oral health of individuals and groups in society who have a physical, sensory, intellectual, mental, or medical factor that limits their ability to access oral health care services appropriate to their needs. The service will provide a domiciliary dental service to residents of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (excluding Bassetlaw). This includes to care homes and patients confined to their own homes, including a full clinical examination, an oral health risk assessment and appropriate treatment, including preventive care, to patients with long term and/or progressive medical conditions; mental illness or dementia, causing disorientation and confusion in unfamiliar environments; or increasing frailty who are unable to travel to a dental surgery and who could not otherwise access dental care. The Urgent and Emergency Care Review and Five Year Forward View; Next Steps emphasise the need to change the way unscheduled care is offered, in order that everyone can receive the most appropriate care, in the most appropriate place, first time around. This includes equitable access to access to high quality unscheduled dental services that are integrated with the wider urgent care system.
