Workplace dentistry is coming to the UK. Onsite Services will be launching an oral to overall health initiative starting in mid-April 2015 targeting some of the highest profile businesses in the country.

Onsite will be organising all the tour logistics including the provision of a 53-foot transportable dental practice - whilst affiliated dental professionals will be providing free oral annual health checks, dental examinations, dental cleaning as well as systemic health education.

 

Arrangements have already been made with many leading UK companies and the Onsite touring practice will visit large, single and multi-tenant business parks throughout the UK - with the potential to treat 81,700 employees. The tour kicks off in London on April 13, visits twelve cities and will culminate in Glasgow in September 2015.

 

The need for such a service is evident.  Research shows that only 21 per cent of the UK population visit the dentist annually. However, it does not appear that cost is the deterrent; according to The British Dental Health Foundation, whilst everyone in the UK is eligible for free dental check-ups, only 61 per cent of the population has a dentist.
