DCP RESOURCES

Dental professionals discussing ideas at a blackboard

Welcome to the DCP resources area. The aim is to help one another improve oral and general well-being.

Some of the material is historical and you may not agree with every detail – and that’s fine. Fewer people attend face-to-face meetings now, but in my experience nothing beats real discussion and shared learning.

Think of the “discovery” of the Hall crown: progress came from sharing experience and finding satisficing solutions that made care affordable and practical for the public. These resources are a starting point that we can keep improving together.

🦷 How to support ourselves without government funding

Support the Dental Profession – and Get Paid for Prevention

As a profession, we have a responsibility to provide care. As individuals, we’re increasingly exposed to the priorities of large corporate systems and shrinking government support.

DentalHealthService is our chance to build something different: a prevention-focused, dentist-led service that rewards your expertise instead of someone else’s profit target.

Dentists discussing independent dentistry

Protect Independent Dentistry

NHS-style models and corporate ownership concentrate power, tighten control and squeeze fees. We’ve already seen what’s happened in veterinary care: costs go up, services go down.

By backing DentalHealthService, you’re helping to create a sustainable alternative that keeps decision-making closer to patients and clinicians.

Build a Prevention-Focused Dental App

The aim of this website is to support and protect both the public and the profession. The next step is a dedicated dental app that makes prevention, SDF, teledentistry and digital devices easier to deliver – and easier to be paid for.

With your support, we’ll build it and keep it affordable for the whole dental team.

Early supporter benefits

Early Supporter Benefits

For a limited period the website is free for the whole dental team.

The first 100 dentists to sign up will be listed on the website free for life.

The next 100 dentists who subscribe at £10/month will fund the first version of the app and keep access low-cost. Once we reach 100 paying supporters, the app price will rise to £20/month for new joiners – early supporters keep their £10/month rate for the life of the DentalHealthService app.

HOW TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Build the future Dental Health Service — by building your own business

The NHS will always need traditional dental practices for treatment. But the biggest opportunity right now is prevention and palliative care delivered earlier, closer to home, and often without a dental chair — through mobile services and teledentistry.

That’s where much of the dental team can lead: hygienists, therapists, nurses, and dentists working in modern, flexible ways that meet people where they are.

DentalHealthService.org is a social enterprise. It only works if people use it. The goal is simple: help the public take more responsibility for their oral health, with guidance and access to the right support — free at the point of use wherever possible.

Prevention is cheaper than cure. But behaviour change doesn’t happen because of a flashy website. It happens because people trust the person helping them — someone local, recommended, and consistent.

That person could be you.

Start your journey today. Between us, we already have the experience, templates, and real-world know-how — we just need to share it. This platform will help educate the public and market your services.
