Community Dental Services: Improving oral health in ever more communities
EMPLOYEE-OWNED ENTERPRISE, FOCUSING ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
WORDS FROM COMMUNITY DENTAL SERVICES
Why we are different from a High Street dentist
We are different from most High Street dentists as we are mostly a ‘referral’ dental service providing specialist care and expertise to patients most in need. We care for some of the most vulnerable in society and our highly experienced team pride themselves on being able to deal with almost any dental emergency or condition which comes through our doors.
The majority of our patients come to us because they would find it difficult to receive their care from a High Street dentist, perhaps owing to a disability, learning difficulty or behavioural condition, such as dental anxiety.
We also treat patients who need highly specialised or complex care which is not available from their usual dentist. In these cases, patients are referred into our service for a specific course of treatment, and then once completed, they return to receiving their routine care from their own dentist again.
Employee Owned – Social Enterprise
We are an employee owned social enterprise totally owned by our employees and believe that as co-owners all our employees can share in our social mission and influence the business decisions we make. Because we are run in an open way, with employee elected members on our Board, we all have a strong commitment to our shared corporate social responsibility and involvement with the communities we serve.
