Register and regulate the whole dental team
 

By law, the following categories of dental professionals have to register with us to practise in the UK:

  • dentists
  • dental hygienists
  • dental therapist
  • dental nurses
  • dental technicians
  • clinical dental technicians, and
  • orthodontic therapists. 

    This means that the whole dental team is trained, qualified and statutorily registered with us. The aim of this is to provide better standards of care for patients, as well as better career pathways for these professionals.

    More information, specifically for Dental Care Professionals is also available on this site.
