Questions

Is the World Dental Council a regulator?

No. The Council is a private, international membership organisation. It does not register, license or discipline dental professionals. In the UK that is the role of the General Dental Council.

Does membership allow me to practise dentistry?

No. Membership is a networking and education benefit. You must stay registered with the dental regulator in the country where you practise.

Is the e-certificate a qualification?

No. The e-certificate confirms that you are a member of the World Dental Council. It is not a qualification, and it does not allow you to use a protected title or any letters after your name.

How much does membership cost?

The membership team sends fees with their reply to your application. Email [email protected] if you would like them before you apply.

Do the webinars count towards my CPD?

Each webinar gives a certificate of attendance. Check with your own regulator how the hours count towards your CPD requirements.

Who can apply?

Dentists, dental clinics and hospitals, and organisers of dental conferences, seminars and courses, from any country.
