Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged \>18 years 2. Able to provide informed consent 3. Receipt of care from a Community Mental Health Team (or equivalent service) or Early Intervention Team at the point of referral 4. No routine and planned dental appointment in the past 3 years. The person should not have accessed a dental service (e.g. high street dentist, special care dentist service) for routine or planned dental care in the past 3 years. This would include any dental examination, diagnosis, advice or treatment (e.g. fillings, root canal, extractions, crowns, dentures, bridges) resulting from a routine (non-emergency) appointment at a dental service. The researchers do not consider emergency dental care (e.g. attendance at A\&E, dental hospital) within this definition, although any follow-up routine and planned appointments with a dentist would exclude the person from taking part. Exclusion criteria: 1. Inpatient status on a psychiatric or secure ward. The researchers will allow participants in supported living to take part as long as they are in receipt of care from a Community Mental Health Team (or equivalent service) or Early Intervention for Psychosis Service 2. Immediate risk to self or others operationalised as the presence of active intent or planning to harm oneself or others in the near future (e.g. next month). Where individuals are excluded on this basis, with the person's consent, the researcher will aim to re-contact them and the referrer in approximately 1 month's time (or a time period agreed in collaboration with the individual) to determine if the risk has subsided to a point where they are now eligible. 3. Enrolled in a dental trial
