Professional protection… What is it and why do I need it?

You might not have thought about it yet, but as a budding dental professional, it’s important to be prepared for what your future holds. That’s where we come in.

Professional protection, also known as indemnity, can help you with any dentolegal issues that may arise from both your time as a student and throughout your whole career. This can be anything from patient complaints, to claims and referrals, to the General Dental Council.

When you join Dental Protection, you receive support throughout your studies and beyond, so you can be the best dental professional you can be. Joining means you’ll be part of a member-owned, not-for-profit organisation, made up of, and supported by, fellow dental practitioners.

You’ll be joining a network of more than 300,000 members around the world, and should you need help or support, we’re just a phone call away. There’s a whole host of membership benefits at your fingertips, including an online learning platform to help you develop your skills throughout your career too.
