Referral to treatment data shows that as of April 2022, there were 268,464 patients awaiting oral surgery. However, this does not record the type of procedure and while data of the age of the patient is collected, this information has not been centrally validated.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
