CDS stages action days addressing children’s dental care crisis

COMMUNITY DENTAL SERVICES CIC Stand: M20
CDS stages action days addressing children’s dental care crisis
The CDS “Day of Action” team
Community Dental Services CIC (CDS) has staged three days of action to address the crisis in children’s dental care – specifically to address the “Covid Generation” of children who have never seen a dentist, or whose continuity of dental care has been severely impacted by Covid. Working with commissioners, CDS identified where care would have most impact e.g. looked after children; and saw over 200 children across specific CDS clinics in Bedfordshire, Norfolk and the Colchester area of Essex. The CDS team made up of hygienists; therapists; as well as senior clinical staff in management roles who donned their uniforms to provide care; and students with CDS on training placements, worked additional hours to provide the “screen and intervene” initiative. Children received a check-up, on the spot preventative treatments and, if required, were referred for treatment in general dental practice with any children CDS recognised as needing their specialist care being triaged into CDS services

The day, supported with materials/consumables and toothbrushing packs by the Henry Schein Dental Group’s “Give Kids A Smile” programme also saw the CDS oral health teams in attendance to share valuable prevention advice to raise families’ awareness of how to care for their children’s oral health longer term.
