The launch of the 2022 NASDAL Dental Check by One Practice of the Year award has been announced by the Chairman of NASDAL, Nick Ledingham. The award seeks to recognise a practice that has successfully introduced the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) Dental Check by One into their practice. The aim of the campaign is to increase the number of children who access dental care aged 0-2 years. 

Established in 2018, it seeks to highlight excellence in the provision of oral care and prevention in children and showcase the opportunity to achieve a real business improvement.  Particular credit is given to applications from dental practices with evidence supporting their contribution to the overall health of their community. The award will be presented by Sara Hurley, England’s chief dental officer, at the BDIA Dental Showcase in Docklands ExCeL on 25th March 2022.

“We look forward to hearing how the entrants have reached out to their communities and engaged with families,” said Nick. “Following the Covid pandemic, we feel sure that there will be even more inspiring stories. We know that doing the right thing makes good business sense and this award recognises those practices whose efforts and imagination have Inspired more parents to bring their baby or toddler in for a Dental Check by One.”

Claire Stevens, spokesperson for BSPD, said: “The last 18 months have been tough for dental practices but as dentistry builds back following the enforced pause, providing access for children and young people will be top of the agenda. Dental Check by One is a recognised priority area for NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHS EI) and it is time to refocus our efforts.

“The winners of this award in 2018 and 2019 showed what can be achieved by dental practices committed to encouraging families into their practices with Dental Check by One as the foundation stone. I am excited to see the entries for 2022.”
