Why it matters for dental
Irish dentists employed by the HSE are scheduled to join a broader health-worker strike, which could disrupt public dental services and affect appointment access for patients reliant on state-funded care.
Key points
- The Journal reports that HSE dentists will participate in the planned industrial action alongside thousands of other health workers.
- Today’s date is 2026-10-02; the strike is slated for later this month.
- Clinics in the public dental system may experience cancellations or reduced capacity during the strike period.
- Private or DSO-affiliated practices outside the HSE are unlikely to be directly impacted but could see referral volume shifts.
