Under new system, dentists must spend longer assessing each patient.

According to a bill to reduce waiting time, patients can see therapists, who have studied for three years, instead of dentists, who have studied for five.

Dentists will concentrate on more complex procedures. Dental therapists should stand in routinely for dentists and start drilling and filling patients' teeth to tackle growing NHS waiting lists, the Government's tooth department has said.

Patients are waiting weeks longer for an appointment at many surgeries piloting a new NHS system of check-ups, which will be rolled out across the country within two years.

The new check-ups require dentists to spend longer assessing each patient, and now Barry Cockcroft, the chief dental officer, has recommended that, to avoid delays, junior staff should take up some tasks traditionally carried out by dentists.

This could see therapists, who study for three years, compared with five years for dentists -- drilling and filling adults' teeth, and extracting children's milk teeth. Dental nurses should also play a bigger role, doing procedures such as fluoride varnishes, he said. Speaking to The Mail on Sunday at the British Dental Conference in Manchester, Dr. Cockcroft said: “A dentist is very highly trained and can carry out complex work such as crowns and bridges. Therapists can do extractions and fillings.”

Health Minister Earl Howe said patients needed to accept that dentists would do less work on their teeth in the future, and that nurses, hygienists and therapists would do more. He said: “Sometimes in GP practices you see a nurse and sometimes a GP. People will be used to that.”

The pilot of the new dental system involves a traffic-light rating where patients are given a “green”, “amber” or “red” notice on the condition of their teeth and gums. Patients flagged as “red” can be refused advanced treatment until they have improved their oral health -- by cleaning their teeth more and cutting down on sugary foods. Dentists largely welcome the scheme, which has been running for two-and-a-half years, because it focuses on preventing problems as well as treating them.

35. What’s the aim of the new scheme?

A. To reduce patients’ waiting time. B. To let nurses do more work.

C. To ease the government’s pressure D. To help therapists get a higher pay.

36. According to Barry Cockcroft, ________.

A. there won’t be delays when one goes to a dentist’s

B. dentists’ work will be more boring than ever

C. junior staff can help with some assessing work

D. a dentist will fill and drill adults’ teeth

37. If you are flagged as “red”, you ________ to improve your oral health.

A. will stay in hospital for some time B. will receive advanced treatment

C. needn’t pay any attention to it D. have to clean your teeth more often

38. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. No need to study that long at college. B. Dentists’ work is more important.

C. Patients are suffering tooth problems. D. Dentists are to examine a patient longer.

C
