title: After the contract ... which way now?
abstract: There can be little doubt that the treadmill of NHS dentistry has done little to improve standards, and one can only applaud those who are so actively seeking to do so. But, perhaps sometimes we should examine our motives. Why do we want to improve? We cannot all hope to provide the very best for everyone. There simply are not the funds or the dentists. Is it so that we can obtain more money, or greater job satisfaction, or to give the patient a better deal?
