	answer text	<p>In July 2022, we announced a package of improvements to the National Health Service dental system, detailed in ‘Our plan for patients’, which outlined how we will increase access to dental services across England, including for vulnerable patients, and make the NHS dental contract more attractive for dentists. We have taken action to implement these changes, including through regulations that came into effect on 25 November 2022. NHS England have published additional guidance for dentists and commissioners as part of this package. Discussions on further improvements to the NHS dental system are underway and being led by NHS England, involving the British Dental Association, other dental stakeholder groups and patients.</p>
