Employers, educators, indemnity providers & other groups

Our key purpose - protecting patients, regulating the dental team

We support the quality of practice and reputation of the profession by setting standards, promoting them and taking action when they are not met. All of this ensures that patients are protected.

Successful dental regulation is dependent on our relationships with a wide range of people and organisations. We are committed to building effective relationships with educational institutions, indemnity organisations and other groups in the dental and regulatory sector.
