The General Dental Council

The General Dental Council (GDC), located in Birmingham, serves as the UK regulator for dental professionals, dedicated to ensuring patient safety and public confidence in the dental field. The GDC is responsible for registering dental professionals, setting standards for practice, and investigating complaints regarding fitness to practice. Their commitment to maintaining high educational standards for dental professionals is paramount, ensuring that all practitioners meet the necessary qualifications and skills. In addition to registration, the GDC provides essential resources for dental professionals, including guidance on continuing professional development (CPD) and support for dental students and trainees. Patients can also find valuable information about making complaints, understanding dental charges, and navigating dental care options. The GDC encourages anyone seeking dental care or with questions about dental practices to get in touch for further assistance.
