An audit to assess GDP registration in paediatric patients attending A+E with dental abscesses

Introduction/Aims: In 2014-2015, more than 26,000 hospital admissions were as a result of dental infections in children age 5-9. The Royal College of Surgeons England state that 42.1% of children did not visit an NHS dentist between 2015-2016. Based on "Delivering Better Oral Health" and NICE Guidelines, all children should be registered and have a recall frequency of no more than 1 year.
