Membership Eligibility Checker Start

This short questionnaire will help you find out which membership category of the College of General Dentistry you may be eligible for.

You will be guided through a series of questions about your role, registration status and qualifications.

  1. Your Role

2. Qualifications

3. Memberships

Are you currently registered as a dental or oral health professional?

We welcome all members of the dental team. Registration with the General Dental Council (or an equivalent overseas body) confirms your professional standing, but it is not essential for eligibility.

Were you previously registered as a dental or oral health professional?

If you are no longer practising or have retired, your experience and contribution to the profession remain highly valued.

The College offers membership options to help you stay connected, maintain professional recognition, and continue contributing to dentistry.

Retired practitioners are also invited to join the College’s 1992 Circle, with access to dedicated events and opportunities.
