Where our dentists have been asked to comment on dentistry in Scotland, the features we have placed, and what we sponsor. They are listed separately, because they are not the same thing.
Independent journalism. We were asked, we answered, and the words around our quotes are the publication’s own.
Why Scotland's 95.1% NHS dental registration rate overstates access, what the 62.1% two-year participation figure shows instead, and what brings lapsed patients back.
“Someone who registers elsewhere and never attends is still on our list, and still on the national one. A register cannot shrink through inactivity, which is part of why registration sits at 95.1% while participation sits at 62.1%.”Read it on Dentistry.co.uk
Features we paid to place. The publication hosts them, but the copy is substantially ours, so they are not press coverage and we do not list them as such.
An advertising feature on the practice's approach to nervous patients, its open NHS list and how to book.
“We go out of our way to serve all our patients to the best of our ability in dental care. We have a compassionate team ready to help, whether you need their services for a routine check-up or an emergency.”Read it on Edinburgh Live
Things we sponsor. Not press coverage and not a feature we placed — a package we bought from the organisation running it, which is a third thing again, so it is listed on its own.
We sponsor the third kit of Hearts midfielder Blair Spittal for the 2026/27 season. Tynecastle is a mile from the practice and a good number of our patients are season ticket holders.
Third Kit Sponsor of Blair Spittal, Heart of Midlothian FC, 2026/27. We sponsor the shirt; the club and the player do not endorse the practice.
See the sponsors on his Hearts profileWe are happy to comment on NHS access in Scotland, oral health in young people, practice data on how and when patients book, and the difference between registration and participation. Our published guides set out our position on most of these in full.
