General description

This StatsWales cube presents data for Welsh resident children treated in a rolling 12-month period.

Data collection and calculation

The data is derived from dental activity forms submitted for payment and processed by NHS Business Services Authority Dental Services.

‘Patients treated’ counts the number of unique patients that have been treated during the last 12 months; each patient is counted only once even if they have received multiple episodes of care over the period.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance recommends that children are recalled for check-ups at intervals of 3 months to 12 months depending on the individual’s oral health status. Therefore, when analysing children treated, the primary statistical measure should be based on children treated in a 12-month period.

Any patients residing in Bridgend are counted under Cwm Taf Morgannwg for all 12-month periods; this includes reference periods that spans over the period before the health board boundary changes took place in April 2019.

NICE guidance recommends that adults are recalled for check-ups at intervals of 3 months to 24 months depending on the individual’s oral health status. Therefore, when analysing adults treated, the primary statistical measure should be based on adults treated in a 24-month period. All data for Welsh resident adults treated on a 24-month basis is shown in the HLTH0558 StatsWales cube at the link here: https://statswales.gov.wales/Catalogue/Health-and-Social-Care/General-Dental-Services/Current-Contract/Welshresidentadultstreatedina24monthperiod-by-localhealthboard
