As a dentist I find the whole PA thing astounding. You cannot ‘practise dentistry’ without qualification and registration, and roles like therapists have clearly defined scope of practice. How is it possible someone can do medical tasks without being GMC registered?
As things stand?
Physician Associates are NOT regulated
Till that happens?
Any expansion of roles & scope should be paused
Its a matter of safety.
Don’t @ me with “senior medics are supervising”
We can’t even supervise our own trainees- let alone anyone else

Some uneducated replies here. Dental therapists exist and already work in both NHS and private practice, and can carry out quite a number of dental procedures. But unless the dental contracts are fixed there won’t be any NHS practices to work in

Smile Direct close. Leaving users high and dry, out of pocket and without ongoing care. There was already concern that patients could be harmed. Stay away from any similar companies. If you can’t afford dentist-led treatment don’t be tempted by cheaper offers
It shouldn’t have taken a bankruptcy to protect patients from harm…
It requires decent laws and effective regulation.
Dentists are left to pick up the pieces when these providers offer wholly inappropriate treatment. 1/

One more thing on the toothbrushing. Teeth and gums are a complicated surface. Most adults can’t brush their teeth thoroughly. Many people do it too quickly or skip it altogether. It’s an important habit to establish at an early age
