Department of Health hospital dental services taken over by Hospital Authority from February

From 6 February 2026 the Department of Health's hospital dental services merged with the Hospital Authority's oral and maxillofacial surgery services and are run by the HA. Seven clinics inside public hospitals are affected; clinical records, X-rays, photos, dental models and follow-up appointments move to the HA so care continues.

What it means for you

Patients previously followed up by DH hospital dental clinics now have their appointments and records with the HA; in general they do not need to rebook.

Key points

• Seven OMFS and dental clinics in public hospitals now run by the HA
