To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his policy is on the funding of treatment for temporomandibular joint dysfunction; and if he will make a statement. [1442751

Cases of temporomandibular joint dysfunction, which are suitable for treatment by a general dental practitioner, can be funded through the general dental services. More complex cases, for example requiring surgery, will be referred to hospital and funded as with other hospital services.
