General Dental Council

The General Dental Council (GDC) is the regulator for dentists and dental care professionals in the UK. Their primary function is to protect the public by ensuring that dental professionals meet high standards of education, conduct, and performance.

The GDC sets standards for dental education, registers dental professionals, investigates complaints against them, and takes disciplinary action when necessary. They also provide information and resources to the public about dental health and how to find a registered dental professional.

If you are looking for a dentist in the UK, you can use the GDC's online register to find a registered professional near you. You can also use the register to check if a dental professional is qualified and registered to practice in the UK.

The GDC plays a vital role in ensuring that patients receive safe and effective dental care. By setting high standards for dental professionals and taking action against those who fall short, the GDC helps to protect the public and maintain confidence in the dental profession.
