Dentistry Impact Report 2024/25

In 2024–2025 Healthwatch Cornwall turned public frustration with NHS dental services across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly into evidence, and evidence into action — leading to tangible, measurable improvements in services.

Through gathering over 1,185 real experiences from residents — families, carers, young people, older adults, and rural communities — Healthwatch Cornwall produced the landmark report: “The Dental Crisis in Cornwall: Your Questions Answered.”

This report was formally cited as critical evidence by the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board (ICB) and directly informed the 2024–2026 Dental Strategy.
