| Summary: | Primary care dentistry is very different from most other parts of healthcare, for a combination of reasons which very few people outside dentistry recognise and understand.

This article argues that unless the views and first-hand experience of dentists is respected and valued, dentists and dentistry will always come off second best when set against the massive scale of medicine, and wider health and social care. © 2018, Nature Publishing Group.
