The latest version of the Dental Prescribing Dashboard, offering insight into NHS dental prescribing across England, is now available.
Updated with data up to April 2025, the dashboard enables primary care teams to explore prescribing activity in relation to dental treatment submissions (FP17 forms), alongside pharmacy and dispensing doctor claims submitted within the same period.
Three key datasets are included in the dashboard:
- Overall prescribing
- Antibacterial prescribing
- Fluoride prescribing
Aimed at dental public health consultants and local dental networks, the dashboard will help identify trends, outliers and areas for improvement in prescribing practice across Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) – all of which support informed decision-making and quality improvement.
Data is drawn from our ePACT2 system and our Dental Data Warehouse, covering prescribing and dispensing activity from January 2022 onwards. The dashboard will also be updated monthly to ensure users always have access to the most current information.
