The SDCEP Prevention and Treatment of Periodontal Diseases in Primary Care guidance was amended in November 2025. Details of the changes to the guidance can be found on the Updates page of the Periodontal Care website.
The downloadable PDF was also amended in November 2025 to reflect these changes to the guidance. As the main changes relate to updated advice on the provision of local anaesthesia by dental hygienists and dental therapists, the specific pages related to this are also available as a separate PDF for convenience.
