Preventing wrong tooth extraction in primary care oral surgery: developing local safety standards for invasive procedures (LocSSIPs).

Local Safety Standards for Invasive Procedures (LocSSIPs) offer a valuable way of mitigating wrong tooth extraction and other patient safety incidents during a patient's dental care journey. This paper aims to guide primary care dental practitioners in creating tailored, co-produced LocSSIPs with guidance on analysis of work systems and consideration of the patient's care journey, and provides the building blocks to create a detailed LocSSIP with a background of understanding of the importance of human factors and non-technical skills.
