Number of dental practices in an area per 1,000 population (10283) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file, the file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of dental practices located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services involve registered dentists and dental care professionals usually working in premises designed for consultation and treatment but they can also be provided in a person's place of residence. Consultations and examinations will involve discussion of the treatment options with the patient and may include dental radiography. Treatment is usually provided in a dedicated room, and, in consultation with the patient, may be under local aesthetic, or use a laser. Medicines may be prescribed as part of the treatment.br>
Examples of services that fit under this category:- Primary care dental services (dentists on the high street, NHS funded, private or both)
- Dental out-of-hours services.
Data are extracted once a quarter and provide a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.
