Dentistry
Scottish Parliament Written answers, 2 November 2009
Jamie Hepburn (Scottish National Party) | Question S3W-28061
To ask the Scottish Executive whether and, if so, by what process practising denturists can register with the General Dental Council.
Shona Robison (Scottish National Party)
Denturist is not a title recognised for registration purposes by the regulatory body the General Dental Council (GDC). Dental technicians (who make dentures) and clinical dental technicians (who make and fit dentures) can register with the GDC if they hold a qualification approved by the GDC. It is a legal requirement for dental professionals to register with the GDC in order to work in the UK.
Further information on registration is available from the GDC website:
