A Perspective From the British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy Members Regarding the Need for Clinical Support by a Dental Nurse.
Objectives: In the United Kingdom (UK), Dental Hygienists (DHs) and Dental Therapists (DTs) are required by the UK's regulatory body, the General Dental Council, to "… be appropriately supported when treating patients". However, what is deemed 'appropriate support', and the need for that support, has been 'open to interpretation', and consequently, the support dental business owners provide for the DHs and DTs they employ or contract varies. The objective of this perspective is to initiate a discourse within the international community in order to gain a deeper appreciation regarding the matter of Dental Nurse (DN) chairside support for DHs and DTs beyond the UK.
Methods: The British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy (BSDHT) canvassed its members, inviting voluntary, anonymous statements to reflect their real-world experiences, both positive and negative, of working with or without DN chairside support in their roles. The statements from a sample of the membership were subsequently subjected to qualitative thematic analysis.
Results: The analysis revealed three themes: (1) Competency Factors; (2) Conduct Factors and (3) Contextual Factors. These thematic outcomes were congruent with the General Dental Council's Risk in Dentistry Report (2014).
Conclusions: The discussion elucidates the complexity of the matter of DN chairside assistance for DH and DT BSDHT members. The authors of this perspective welcome dialogue from our international colleagues regarding how DN chairside support for both DHs and DTs is of benefit to them and impacts their clinical role.
