I could only find it for the uk A total of 654 dentists in England and Wales earned more than £250,000 last year, new official NHS statistics reveal today. Data from the NHS information centre shows that 159 dentists earned between £250,000 and £275,000, 113 earned between £275,000 and £300,000, and 382 earned more than £300,000. With about 19,500 dentists in England and Wales, this equates to one in every 30 dentists earning more than a quarter of a million pounds. The figures, based on dentists' own tax returns, reveals that: • The average income for all dentists was £89,062 (before tax). • Just under 7,500 dentists running their own practices with a contract with local primary care services to provide NHS dental services in England and Wales had an average taxable gross income of £345,651, with £126,807 (before tax) in fee income and average expenses of £218,843. • The 12,000 dentists working in a practice without an NHS contract earned on average £65,697 (before tax). With typical expenses of £33,512, this took average total earnings to £99,208. The report covers just the earnings and expenses of full- and part-time, self-employed primary care dentists who undertook some NHS work in England and Wales in the year, and covers both their NHS and private work. Earnings include fees for treating both NHS and private patients in 2007-08, the second year of the new dental contract. The government introduced the new contract in April 2006 in a bid to improve access to dental services and end the "drill and fill" culture critics said had developed because at that time dentists were paid per filling. The new system means that since 2006, earnings have been on the basis of each unit of dental activity and course of treatment undertaken. The disclosure of dentists' income will prompt fresh criticism of dental services, which a succession of reports have said fail to cater adequately to the public's need to maintain good teeth health. In June Andy Burnham, the health secretary, pledged to reform the system yet again in order to make it easier for people to get treated by a dentist, following an independent inquiry commissioned by ministers and conducted by Prof Jimmy Steele of Newcastle University. The NHS information centre's chief executive, Tim Straughan, said: "The England and Wales report looks at earnings in the second year of the new contractual system and reveals the average earnings of NHS dentists varies greatly depending on whether they personally held a contract with their primary care organisation." Health minister Ann Keen said: "NHS dentistry is improving and many dentists are now keen to expand their NHS work. Today's report confirms that NHS dentists have good levels of earnings. "Access to NHS dentistry is continuing to improve, following record investment, an expanding workforce and a continuing increase in the amount of services being bought by the NHS."
