In 2022 this increased to over 5 Million people. It runs an annual clinical conference, which in 2018 was attended by more than 600 dentists and dental professionals. In 2022, the company announced the clinical conference coming back after a break during covid In January 2019 Matt Hancock visited its surgery in Mildenhall and said: “Companies like MyDentist play a really important role in delivering a good service to keep our nation’s teeth strong.” He was criticised because the firm charges much more than NHS rates. Its dentures cost £878 compared to £256.50 on the NHS. Jon Ashworth said: “Surely the priority should be expanding access to NHS dentistry for everyone, not endorsing private firms for the better off.” Tom Riall said the firm was developing "an affordable range of private dentistry because so many practices are closed to NHS patients.” Healthwatch Suffolk and the British Dental Association both pointed out that patients on low incomes rely on NHS dentistry but in the area of Bury St Edmunds the nearest surgery taking adult NHS patients was ten miles away and what was on offer from the company was not affordable for them. The company was acquired by Palamon Capital Partners from the Carlyle Group in May 2021. In 2022, IDH Group sold DD (Previously known as Dental Directory) to Sun European Partners. (en)
