The Private Dentistry (Wales) Regulations 2008The Private Dentistry (Wales) Regulations 2008 come into force on 1 January 2009. The Regulations require dental practitioners in Wales, who provide any non-NHS dental treatment, to register with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) under the Care Standards Act 2000. HIW will be contacting all private dentists later this month to explain the process and update you on registration arrangements. Any enquiries should be referred to as follows: Enquiries regarding regulations please email privatedentistregulations@wales.gsi.gov.uk Enquiries regarding registrations please email privatedentistryregistration@wales.gsi.gov.uk The following documents provide information regarding the consultation process, the regulations that will apply and a question and answer brief 31 October 2008 12 December 2008 Further to previous correspondence regarding the Private Dentistry (Wales) Regulations 2008, please find available for download the application form and supporting documents you will need to complete your application.

In the event that you are using a Class 4 laser product or an intense pulse light for private patients this will require separate registration with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales to comply with the Private and Voluntary Health Care (Wales) Regulations 2002. Further information can be obtained on the HIW website. Enhanced Criminal Records Certificate Each completed application for dental registration must be accompanied by a CRB certificate or an application for a new CRB certificate:
That certificate will be accepted for the purposes of this registration. If the above does not apply, you will have to obtain a new certificate. To do this you must obtain a CRB application form from HIW. When sending an application for a Criminal Reference Bureau (CRB) certificate please make sure that the accompanying cheque is made payable to either HIW or Welsh Assembly Government. Failure to do so will delay the process as cheques will have to be returned. This list will be updated at the beginning of every month Please note: If your application for registration to provide private dental services is received by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW), after the transition period deadline of 30 June 2009, (for dentists who were already providing private dental services prior to 1 January 2009), you should not offer any private dental services until your application for registration has been granted.
