Oral health and dental services in Swindon survey

Report - 5 October 2017

We wanted to find out if the dental system works for all who use it, as well as speaking to those who are not having their needs met.

In 2017, Healthwatch Swindon were asked to support and work with local health services and the local authority in Swindon to gather views from people in our area about oral health and going to the dentist.

Key findings

  • People would like an improved environment at their dentist which includes both in the waiting and clinical areas of the building(s).
  • People would like to see a focus to improve information provided around prevention and education.
