More support for dental hygienists and dental therapists

Do you think it's acceptable that dental hygienists and dental therapists often have to work alone and without the support of a dental nurse? The British Society of Dental Hygiene and

Therapy (BSDHT) has recently held a survey on the issue, with thousands of respondents stating that dental nursing support should become standard practice for these clinicians. As such, the

Society is putting this issue at the forefront of its future ambitions for the profession. By raising awareness and campaigning for change the BSDHT hopes to make this extra support a

reality. To find out more, contact the BSDHT. Better yet, become a member and become part of the change! For more information about the BSDHT, visit www.bsdht.org.uk, call 01788 575050 or
