You've been redirected to Dental Protection from The Young Dentist website. We recently merged The Young Dentist with its parent site www.dentalprotection.org. You'll find all the same information here, but also benefit from further help and advice provided by the wider Dental Protection site.
The site's search features will allow you to find information specific to your field and requirements, covering everything from Publications and Case Studies, to Conferences, e-Learning and membership information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us on [CONTACT EMAIL].
With your foundation year coming to an end, it’s time to get the best protection possible for your career ahead.
As a not-for-profit, member-owned organisation, we exist to protect your career, reputation and finances from complaints and legal challenge. When you renew with Dental Protection, you get expert advice and support when you need it most, claims protection you can depend on, plus access to verified CPD, wellbeing resources and more.
Your membership will automatically roll over, so you don't need to do anything right now.
We'll take payment from the same Direct Debit details you provided last year, but if your bank details have changed since then, let us know by calling 0800 561 9000.
If you’re not a member, simply email our team on [email protected] to set up your new membership.

In June, you’ll receive your renewal documentation which will include your Year 2 subscription rate, and we’ll take payment via Direct Debit or your chosen payment method. Your membership will automatically renew onto a full-time associate dentist rate, but if this doesn’t reflect your chosen route, just let us know.
This page shows renewal information for members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. If you're practising in Scotland, you can find out how to renew here.
We understand that you may want to offer your patients more treatment options, so we’ve partnered with 32Co to help build your skills and reduce your risk. If you’re a Foundation dentist entering Year 2 membership, your subscription rate will not change if you offer clear aligner treatment, provided you undertake the 32Co Starter course and continue to provide clear aligners after successfully completing it.**
As a Dental Protection member, you'll get priority access to this free flagship training. The CPD-accredited Clear Aligner Starter Course is spread across just 4 weeks and gives you the extra support and confidence to treat patients safely. You can also get access to the 32Co Platform, so you can work directly with a specialist orthodontist on every case.
