abstract:The Chief Dental Officer (or CDO) for England is the British Government's most senior advisor for dentistry in England, and is the head of dental staff and dental profession in England. The CDO is one of the six chief professional officers, one for each of six professions, to give advice in their respective specialty.
But ChiefDentalOfficer Barry Cockcroft denied claims it would not change the treadmill of "drill and fill", whereby the more treatments dentists do, the more they earn.
