<p>No specific assessment has been made. NHS Digital publishes Dental Statistics for England which includes information on the number of adults and children seen by a dentist, and is available from the following link:</p><p><a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-dental-statistics/2021-22-annual-report" target="_blank">https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-dental-statistics/2021-22-annual-report</a></p><p>Official guidance states that adults with good oral healthcare should be seen by a dentist once every 24 months and that children should be seen by a dentist once every 12 months. Therefore, the data is published in this format, so that the number of adults regularly visiting their dentist can be shown.</p>
