To confirm whether a dental professional is registered with us and able to practise
in the UK, you can search our Registers. These are updated daily. We
do not hold information on whether a person works in the NHS or private practice.
If you would like to find a dentist in your area you can visit
www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk or www.bda-findadentist.org.uk.
You can search a specific Register by entering either a name, town, postcode or
any combination of these and clicking 'find records'. Alternatively
you can search all Registers for an individual by entering their GDC Registration
number.
In addition to dentists, the following groups of dental care professionals have
to be registered with us in order to work:
- Clinical dental technician
- Dental hygienist
- Dental nurse
- Dental technician
- Dental therapist
- Orthodontic therapist
