BDHF survey opened up
12th Apr 2007
Dental professionals can now take part in the National Dental Survey 2007 after the organisers launched a new category to look at the views of the industry. The National Dental Survey, conducted every year for National Smile Month by the British Dental Health Foundation, has become an important tool in exploring the attitudes and dental habits of the UK public. However, this year the Foundation is looking to develop a more rounded picture of dental health in the UK, and will be running the dental professionals’ survey alongside the public survey on the website: www.nationalsmilemonth.org Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the BDHF, said: ‘The new profession facing survey is open to anyone currently working in dentistry including dentists, dental nurses, oral health educators, hygienists, dental therapists, dental receptionists and practice managers. ‘The survey covers a range of issues, from water fluoridation to NHS funding, and will give dental professionals a chance to air their views in confidence. ‘After a difficult year for dentistry we are urging all members of the dental community to spare five minutes to take the survey. The information gathered will provide an important document on dentistry in 2007. We hope that the results can be used to encourage debate on a number of key dental issues.’ To take the National Dental Survey visit the website www.nationalsmilemonth.org and click on ‘Take the Survey’. National Smile Month 2007 runs from 13 May to 12 June under the theme ‘Two Minutes Twice a Day’.
