DHS DIRECTORY

Welcome to the team

You have reached the point where learning can become action. The DHS Directory is designed to help the public see what members of the dental team can offer — locally, practically and within their current scope.

Before you register: don't only think about the job you do today. List the services you can confidently provide now — then think about the skills, training and services you may want to add in the future.

What can you do now — and what could you do next?

Your first DHS profile does not have to be your final one. Start with what you can safely and confidently offer today. Your profile can develop as you develop.

What can I offer today?

Think about the practical help you can already provide to patients, families, care homes or local organisations.

• Oral health education and prevention
• Support for carers and Oral Health Champions
• Dental photography, scanning or digital support where appropriate
• Fluoride varnish and preventive care within your scope
• Teledentistry support and referral pathways

What could I offer in the future?

Think beyond your present job description. Training, technology and collaboration may allow you to develop a much broader service.

• Work more independently in community settings
• Support care homes, schools and workplaces
• Add portable equipment and digital services
• Develop new preventive services within your professional scope
• Build a local network with other DCPs and dentists

Before you join, ask yourself:

“If somebody nearby needed oral health help tomorrow, what could I safely and confidently do for them — and what would I like to be able to do a year from now?”
