The need for high-quality dental care in prisons underscores the vital role companies can play in addressing immediate safety and healthcare challenges, contributing to overall public health improvements.

## Notice

Dental services in secure settings should assist patients to achieve oral health and to be able to continue to maintain their oral health either within the secure setting or in the community following release. People in secure settings should generally be able to access the same (NHS) healthcare services as the rest of the population. The way people in secure settings access dental services will differ from those in the community. However, as an overarching aim, it is expected that people in secure settings should experience an overall improvement in their oral health while they are detained."
