England was the only UK country to see a notable increase, with Wales said to have seen a 0.1% decrease, from £80,000 in 2022/23 to £79,900 in 2023/24; Northern Ireland dropping by 2.4%, from £79,000 in 2022/23 to £77,000 in 2023/24; and Scotland seeing a 1.4% decrease, from £91,900 in 2022/23 to £90,600 in 2023/24. The annual report provides a detailed study of the earnings and expenses of self-employed primary care dentists who undertook some NHS work during the financial year. Figures relate to both NHS and private dentistry and are shown for both full-time and part-time dentists. The analyses are based on anonymised tax data for dentists with accounting periods ending in the fourth quarter of 2023/24 and effective as of the end of March 2024. And, although the report contains analysis for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, the values are not directly comparable between countries due to differing contractual arrangements as well as the use of different methods to derive dental type in each country. The report is primarily used as evidence in remuneration negotiations and by the Review Body for Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration. It was produced by NHS England in consultation with the Dental Working Group, which includes representatives from the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England, Welsh Government, Department of Health Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Business Services Organisation, Scottish Government, NHS National Services Scotland: Information Services Division, NHS Business Services Authority Information Services, HMRC: Knowledge, Analysis and Intelligence Division, the National Association of Specialist Dental Accountants and Lawyers, and the British Dental Association.   calendar icon Sep 4, 2025 9:45:56 AM ![Satisfaction with NHS dentistry varies across Britain](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/mohamed_hassan-feedback-3709752_1280.jpg?width=600&name=mohamed_hassan-feedback-3709752_1280.jpg) ## [Satisfaction with NHS dentistry varies across Britain](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/satisfaction-with-nhs-dentistry-varies-across-britain) Satisfaction with NHS dentistry services varies between England, Wales and Scotland, with patients... ![Reforms to the NHS Dentistry Contract 'not a final destination', says the BDA](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/change-671371_1280.jpg?width=600&name=change-671371_1280.jpg) ## [Reforms to the NHS Dentistry Contract 'not a final destination', says the BDA](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/reforms-to-the-nhs-dentistry-contract-not-a-final-destination-says-the-bda) The Government’s commitment this week to reform the *[NHS Dentistry Contract](https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/nhs-dentistry-contract-quality-and-payment-reforms/nhs-dentistry-contract-quality-and-payment-reforms-consultation-document) *in England ‘lacks... ![Dental patients benefit from 700,000 extra appointments](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Dental%20article%207.%20Image%2c%20JOSEPH%20SHOHMELIAN%20from%20Pixabay.jpg?width=600&name=Dental%20article%207.%20Image,%20JOSEPH%20SHOHMELIAN%20from%20Pixabay.jpg) ## [Dental patients benefit from 700,000 extra appointments](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/dental-patients-benefit-from-700000-extra-appointments) Hundreds of thousands of people across England will be able to access urgent and emergency dental... ![Urgent care scheme revised and reopened](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/credit-card-machine-4577769_1280.jpg?width=600&name=credit-card-machine-4577769_1280.jpg) ## [Urgent care scheme revised and reopened](https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/urgent-care-scheme-revised-and-reopened) NHS England has revised and reopened applications to its urgent care scheme, following feedback... ![DTOC RGB Logo-2](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hubfs/DTOC%20RGB%20Logo-2.svg)![DTOC Rev Logo](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hubfs/DTOC%20Rev%20Logo.svg) The Dentist Times Owners Club is an exclusive, free-to-join community, designed specifically for dental practice owners.    **              Organised by**** Nexus Media Group** ![nmg-logo](https://dentist-times.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/nmg-logo.png?width=174&height=83&name=nmg-logo.png) Registered office: 3rd floor, 10 Rose & Crown Yard, King Street, London SW1Y 6RE ***[https://nexusmediagroup.co.uk/](https://nexusmediagroup.co.uk/)*** Registered in England & Wales No.7430935 VAT Registration Number: 629 547 604        --- © 2025 Dentist Times Owners Club ↑ ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Joanne Makosinski", "url" : "https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/author/joanne-makosinski" }, "dateModified" : "2025-09-04T08:45:56.312Z", "datePublished" : "2025-09-04T08:45:56.000Z", "headline" : "Dentists in England see rise in income", "image" : [ "https://dentist-times.co.uk/hubfs/pound-414419_1920.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://dentist-times.co.uk/dentist-times-owners-club-insights/dentists-in-england-see-rise-in-income", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://dentist-times.co.uk/hubfs/NMG_Black_logo.svg" }, "name" : "Nexus Media Group" } } ```
