BDA, the British Dental Association, has been the leading voice for dentists and dental students in the UK since 1880. As a trade union and professional body, they advocate for dentistry in all its forms, including general practice, community dental services, the armed forces, hospitals, academia, public health, and research. Their primary goal is to protect the interests of dentists and dental students while providing them with the support and services they need to thrive in their profession.

BDA offers a membership guide that outlines the benefits of joining their community and how members can actively participate. In addition, BDA honors and awards recognize the individuals who have made significant contributions to improving the standards of dentistry. These awards aim to acknowledge the unsung heroes of the profession.

As a not-for-profit organization, BDA operates for the sole purpose of benefitting the dental profession. They reinvest all their income back into initiatives that support dentists and dental students. For any media enquiries, privacy concerns, or general inquiries, BDA has provided contact information to address any concerns
