Promoting dentistry through membership
The World Dental Council connects dentists and dental leaders across five regions through membership, conferences and continuing education.
Who we are
A membership organisation for dentistry, bringing dentists, clinics and event organisers together across the world.
We exist to connect, communicate and collaborate. Our members are dentists, dental clinics and hospitals, and organisers of dental conferences and courses.
We promote oral health and dental education through membership, international conferences and free CPD webinars, run with our education partners.
We are not a regulator. Members stay registered with the dental regulator in the country where they practise.
