We are the voice of dentists and dental students in the UK and have been protecting dentists since 1880. Join us to support your career and the profession.

As a trade union and professional body, we represent all fields of dentistry including general practice, community dental services, the armed forces, hospitals, academia, public health and research. Our mission is to bring dentists together, promote their interests and provide our members with the support and services they need to succeed.

In addition, BDA members can access our six publications to keep up-to-date with latest news and research across all dental job roles. And BDJ Jobs support dental professionals with a jobs board and access to career advice.
