6 Implementation

6.1

NHS trusts and dental practitioners should review their current practice against this guidance and use the audit advice set out in section 7 to prospectively collect data on individual practitioners' performance.

6.2

The position of individual patients currently scheduled for extraction of wisdom teeth should be reviewed. This may be possible through a case note review but there may be circumstances in which patients will need to be invited to attend a review clinic.

6.3

The patient information included in appendix C can be drafted into local information leaflets and could also be used to help inform patients if it is necessary to issue invitations to attend review clinics.
