title: An interview with the Chief Dental Officer. Interview by Kenneth A. Eaton.
abstract: Some months ago, I mentioned to Professor Raman Bedi, the Chief Dental Officer (CDO) for England, that Primary DENTAL CARE would be celebrating its tenth anniversary in October 2004. He kindly agreed to a special interview during which he would outline his vision for education, research and opportunities for career development in primary dental care in the future. The timing proved to be perfect as earlier on the day of the interview (16th July 2004), the Secretary of State for Health, John Reid, announced the Government's plans for NHS dentistry and NHS Dentistry: Delivering Change. Report from the Chief Dental Officer (England) 2004 was published.
