The Probe‘s James Cooke was recently invited to join the Bite-Sized Dental Marketing podcast, hosted by Eric Hubbard.
Topics include:
- Why the NHS dental system works completely differently from the rest of the NHS.
- How a payment structure that treats a 10-minute checkup and a complex procedure as roughly equal has pushed dentists toward private practice.
- The Zoom Boom and what it actually changed.
- What ‘dental deserts’ really mean in the UK.
- Why some principal dentists describe leaving the NHS as carrying a guilt that feels almost like abandoning a national duty.
- How some UK dentists are running private practices not to make more money, but specifically to fund the NHS patients they feel obligated to keep seeing.
- The ‘postcode lottery’ — how access to NHS dental care in the UK comes down entirely to where you live, and why that randomness makes the whole system feel particularly unfair.
