When dentistry was first incorporated into the new National Health Service the amount of untreated dental disease was enormous. A system was required which would provide a high volume of simple dental treatment. This was successfully achieved but what is now long overdue is a transfer to low volume, high quality, well-maintained treatment based on a foundation of effective public education in prevention.
