What do we do?

We are the voice of dentists and dental students in the UK, protecting dentists since 1880. As a trade union and professional body, we represent all fields of dentistry including general practice, community dental services, the armed forces, hospitals, academia, public health and research. We promote their interests and provide our members with the support and services they need to succeed.
