About the General Dental Council

We are the UK regulator for dental professionals. 

Our primary purpose is to protect patient safety and maintain public confidence in the dental professions.

We register dental professionals, set standards for the dental team, investigate complaints about fitness to practise, and ensure the quality of dental education.
