The General Dental Council (GDC) are the governing body who set standards in dentistry which registered dental professionals must follow. They produce advice for patients including lists of questions you might want to ask during your appointments.
For further information you can can visit their website www.gdc-uk.org
By law, all dentists, dental nurses, dental technicians, dental hygienists, dental therapists, clinical dental technicians and orthodontic therapists who provide your dental care must be registered with the GDC.
GDC registration numbers of all of our team can be found above.
While on the GDC register you can expect dental professionals to keep their skills up to date through continuing professional development. They also need to meet gdc standards.
There are nine principles registered dental professionals must keep to at all times.
As a GDC registrant dentists must:
- Put patients’ interests first
- Communicate effectively with patients
- Obtain valid consent
- Maintain and protect patients’ information
- Have a clear and effective complaints procedure
- Work with colleagues in a way that is in patients’ best interests
- Maintain, develop and work within their professional knowledge and skills
- Raise concerns if patients are at risk
