    Keren Levy was fit and healthy when she first felt pain in a molar. After numerous dentists and doctors left it untreated, there were knock-on effects throughout her body. Today she is in constant pain and look almost unrecognisable She went to the dentist a number of times but X-rays showed nothing untoward. However, Karen started to develop a horribly rotting taste and knew the tooth was necrotic. She begged her dentist to give her root canal treatment or extract it, but without a visible sign this was needed she was refused. Instead she was referred to her GP, implying her distress was bereavement due to her mother recently dying. Many months later, Keren was referred to a different dentist who gave her a 3D scan that showed the original tooth to be necrotic, as she had said five months before. Evidence of the infection was clear in the surrounding bone. Her dentist records that the delay in treating the original dental infection appears to have triggered a systemic response in my body’s autonomic or endocrine system. Having had perfect health, eventually I had to have 12 root canals; all those teeth were necrotic.  Confronted by the facts, the first dentist Keren saw said that, had he been in his Athens surgery, he would have carried out a root canal on the original tooth. But here, in the UK, he had been concerned he could be held to account by General Dental Council (GDC) regulations, given the X-ray image had not been “definitive”.  An editorial in the British Dental Journal (BDJ) as long ago as 2014 described a climate of “fear and distrust” that had led to defensive dentistry because of the prospect of legal action or disciplinary procedures if anything goes wrong.  Karen's case is a horrific example of excessive diagnostic testing delay, instead of treatment. Months of referrals to neurologists, maxillo-facial specialists, psychologists, GPs, oral medicine departments and other dentists went against common sense and ensured responsibility could never be laid at a particular dentist’s door. Invariably, the first question was: “What did the last dentist say?”

    Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) is designed to improve the quality of care within the NHS by reducing unwarranted variations. By tackling variations in the way services are delivered across the NHS, and by sharing best practice between trusts, GIRFT identifies changes that will help improve care and patient outcomes, as well as delivering efficiencies such as the reduction of unnecessary procedures and cost savings.

    This Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme guidance aims to promote good clinical practice through recommendations for the safe and effective provision of conscious sedation for dental care. 
  4. Content Article
    Conscious sedation helps reduce anxiety, discomfort, and pain during certain procedures. This is accomplished with medications and (sometimes) local anesthesia to induce relaxation. Conscious sedation is commonly used in dentistry for people who feel anxious or panicked during complex procedures like fillings, root canals, or routine cleanings. It’s also often used during endoscopies and minor surgical procedures to relax patients and minimise discomfort. Find out more about the procedure, the drugs used and the side effects.

    The Health and Social Care Committee is calling for urgent action to assess and tackle a backlog of appointments and an unknown patient demand for all health services, specifically across cancer treatments, mental health services, dentistry services, GP services and elective surgery. MPs say a compelling case has been made for the nationwide routine testing of all NHS staff and they are yet to understand why it cannot be introduced.
