Absolutely agree with this equation @thebda.bsky.social This is exactly why so many of us wanted to be part of our profession. Communication skills really are a key part of the delivery of dental care and why continuity of care is so valuable.

A dentists we believe in prevention. And the shocking sugar levels in these baby pouches isn't' inevitable. It's a commercial choice. Tell Government to make industry do the right thing👉 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/make…

"Children barely out of weaning are presenting with multiple teeth that are decayed," says @eddiecrouch.bsky.social "A result of the diets that they're having when these teeth are first coming through." Tell govt to step up 👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/make…

Baby teeth start coming through around 6 months old. These food pouches are high in sugar. Having removed teeth for children as young as 2 years old, who were experiencing pain and infections, we need action from the manufacturers now. Tooth decay is almost always preventable.

Dentists across 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 say Payment Reform is progress. That risks being undone by reckless NI hikes. But what’s clear is this can’t be the end of the road if we’re going to make NHS dentistry fit for the 21st Century. 👉 www.bda.org/news-and-opinion/blog/s…

“We really are on a knife edge” says new Gillian Lennox. We’ve seen scenes that belong in another century. The Scottish Government need to double down, and secure the pipeline for dentists and the dental team. NHS dentistry needs a fully funded workforce plan. @charlottewaite.bsky.social

Great advocacy from Nick Marshall @thebda.bsky.social Speaking up can make a real difference for our patients and colleagues. Reflecting on my own first media experiences with this article, it felt like a big step but I’m so glad I took it. www.bbc.com/news/educati...
