Abstract
⺠The British Household Panel Survey (waves 1991-2008) is used to model the impact of the 2006 NHS dental reforms in England. ⺠The effects of the 2006 NHS dental reforms on NHS dental check-up use and provider type amongst users are modelled. ⺠The 2006 NHS dental reforms had different impacts on NHS use for those with good and those with poor historic dental use. ⺠The 2006 NHS dental reforms shifted use for those with good historic dental use from public to private sector health care. ⺠No significant effect of selection into dental use was found when modelling dental care users' provider type.
