Round table on oral health and dentistry in Wales: Summary Report
The Commissioner’s 2025-26 Work Programme included a commitment to examine older people’s access to dentistry and oral health services in Wales, as older people across Wales frequently raise issues and concerns about the difficulties they often face when trying to find dental appointments.
The Commissioner therefore convened a round table meeting on 12 November 2025, to bring together stakeholders from oral health and dentistry policy and practice, as well as general health and social care stakeholders, to discuss how older people’s oral health and dentistry might benefit from better integration with new community-based models of prevention, treatment and care.
