Despite strong evidence linking it to systemic diseases, mental health outcomes, and economic burden, it remains under-prioritised in public health policy.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>This opinion piece aims to highlight the broader health and economic implications of periodontal disease and to highlight the need to prioritise it within healthcare policy and integrated care frameworks.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Emerging evidence highlights significant associations between periodontal disease and systemic conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Beyond physical health, periodontal disease also contributes to psychosocial challenges such as reduced self-esteem, with potential links to cognitive decline. From an economic perspective, untreated periodontal disease imposes substantial direct and indirect costs on healthcare systems, particularly the NHS, due to increased demand for emergency care, need for advanced dental treatments, and complex care management needs. Preventative care and early intervention are cost-effective strategies to reduce health inequalities that also address the links between oral and systemic health.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Periodontal disease represents an important yet overlooked public health issue. Prioritising prevention, integrating oral health into general health care, and increasing public awareness are essential to improve population health outcomes. This article calls for urgent policy action to recognise periodontal health as integral to overall health and healthcare delivery.</p>","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":" ","pages":"20501684261470514"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149217978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This opinion piece reflects on the author's personal journey from joining the profession as a trainee dental nurse at the age of 16 to qualifying as a dental therapist and ultimately becoming a practice owner. Along the way, a range of professional and personal challenges have been encountered, including adapting to higher education, overcoming self-doubt, balancing clinical practice with motherhood, and navigating the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. These experiences strengthened the author's resilience, reinforced the value of lifelong learning, and shaped their approach to patient centred care. The establishment of a practice represented the culmination of years of determination, ambition and professional development. In sharing this journey, the author demonstrates the opportunities available within dentistry and encourages other dental care professionals to pursue their aspirations, regardless of the obstacles they may encounter.</p>","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":" ","pages":"20501684261465059"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149217940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While NHS commissioning frameworks describe this middle tier as Level 2 complexity care, its application has remained local and inconsistent, potentially leaving patients and referring practitioners reliant on unverified claims of enhanced skills, often shaped by marketing. This article describes the College of General Dentistry's response. The Certified Practitioner scheme is a national credentialling programme that independently assesses a practitioner's knowledge, skills and clinical experience against standards agreed with the relevant professional bodies. The article sets out the rationale for credentialling as well as its relationship to the College's Career Pathways framework and to the specialist lists. The staged assessment process, which encompasses evidence of training, a verified logbook of cases and a peer-reviewed portfolio discussion, leads to five years of certification and entry on a published national register. Written from the author's perspective as a facilitator of the credentialling workstreams, it reflects on the scheme's development, the launch of the first credential in endodontics, and the fields of practice that will follow.</p>","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":" ","pages":"92-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149083661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It discusses the conceptual role of a mentor and compares this to the roles of coach and supervisor. Possible reasons for the low utilisation of mentoring in dentistry are explored, which include misunderstandings related to the nature of a mentor-mentee relationship, a lack of training in mentoring and poor access to mentors for potential mentees.

Although the GDC has taken steps toward a more proportionate and balanced regulatory approach, the need for further improvements has been acknowledged. The current FtP system remains inflexible, bound by existing legislation, with forms of information gathered at various stages of an FtP investigation, and a limited scope for early resolution. A key consideration is whether a dental professional's fitness to practise is currently impaired. Introducing opportunities for presenting effective evidence of insight, reflection, and targeted action relating to the issues raised to prevent further repetition - evidence of remediation considered at an early stage of an FtP investigation - could reflect a more compassionate and learning-focused approach to help demonstrate the absence of present impairment and ensuring that patient safety is maintained. This aligns with the practices of some of the other UK healthcare regulators and may help to reduce the number of cases that progress unnecessarily, particularly the small number of cases which are closed later in the process with no further action. This article explores the potential for integrating early remediation into dental regulation to enhance fairness and efficiency.</p>","PeriodicalId":519951,"journal":{"name":"Primary dental journal","volume":" ","pages":"56-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148932323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
