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.
When you renew with Dental Protection, you’ll receive free access to Chairsyde for a year – worth £720 – and get 10% off Happythreads scrubs.
*The above rates represent the average cost for a Year 2 member. If you’re providing additional procedures such as cosmetic dentistry or implantology, it’s important you let us know so we can tailor your membership accordingly.
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.
You’ll get a year’s free access to Chairsyde Pro 2.0, the game-changing consultation platform. We’ve partnered with Chairsyde to offer all Year 2 qualified members* access to their state-of-the-art consultation platform. Designed by dentists, for dentists, Chairsyde helps you improve patient understanding, mitigate risk, and increase case acceptance. It's a game changer.
After you’ve renewed with us, we’ll send you your Chairsyde account* details, plus your Happythreads discount via email, as a thank you for choosing us.
