英格兰通过重新定义“紧急”护理、增加治疗和从2026年4月起的预约,扩大国家医疗服务系统的牙科服务。 England expands NHS dental access by redefining "urgent" care, boosting treatments and appointments starting April 2026.

英国通过扩大“紧急”治疗的定义,将所有牙科需要包括在内,而不仅仅是严重病例,从而扩大获得国家医疗服务系统牙科护理的机会。 英国的批评是,严格标准使患有诸如牙齿衰竭等严重问题的患者得不到护理。 England is expanding access to NHS dental care by broadening the definition of "urgent" treatment to include all dental needs, not just severe cases, following criticism that strict criteria left patients with serious issues like tooth decay without care. 这一变化立即生效,旨在防止自我抽取和改进早期干预,在2025-26年头七个月又提供了180万次治疗。 This change, effective immediately, aims to prevent self-extraction and improve early intervention, with 1.8 million additional treatments delivered in the first seven months of 2025-26. 从2026年4月开始,高级街头牙医必须提供最低数量的紧急预约,包括给新病人。 Starting April 2026, high street dentists must offer a minimum number of urgent appointments, including to new patients. 改革是更广泛地转向预防的一部分,包括针对幼儿的国家牙刷方案和扩大水的荧光化,支持政府在多年衰落后重建牙科服务的10年健康计划。 The reforms are part of a broader shift toward prevention, including a national toothbrushing program for young children and expanded water fluoridation, supporting the government’s 10-year health plan to rebuild dental services after years of decline.
