Dentists want the authorities to step up, and raise awareness of the risks, including genuinely proactive campaigns to inform the public.

What we are doing

We will continue to work with government, regulators and the indemnity sector to help bring clarity to these issues, and ensure our patients are fully informed of the risks they face. Read more about our dental tourism policy position.

What you can do 

We're asking dentists to share their experiences on dental tourism. If you have a story to share, please get in touch with us: [email protected]
