The College of General Dentistry and Haleon have launched the Dental Health Barometer, which provides deep insights into the role of preventative oral healthcare in the UK.

As part of a new initiative to raise awareness of its mission to dental students and early career professionals, the College held its first major NextGen event on Saturday 25 November.

The newest edition of the Primary Dental Journal, the Dental trauma issue (vol.12, no.4), is now live online.

Fourteen national dental organisations have come together to support the World AMR Awareness Week theme, “Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance Together”. Understanding antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the drivers for its development will help healthcare professionals work together to reduce its emergence and spread.

College Fellow Dr Pankaj Patel has taken up post as President of the Pierre Fauchard Academy.

At the 2024 edition of the British Dental Conference & Dentistry Show (BDCDS24), the College will once again be the headline education partner for the Enhanced CPD Theatre.

A new process has been announced for the consideration of postgraduate qualifications awarded outside the UK in helping determine eligibility for Full Membership, Associate Fellowship and Fellowship of the College.

CGDent is working with Haleon to explore opportunities for enhancing oral care advice and is inviting practices around the UK to express an interest in hosting a focus group.

The College has published ‘Sustainability in dentistry: Leading for change’, a scoping review to inform and engage the dental profession, industry, and wider oral health and dental care infrastructure on the environmental sustainability of practicing dentistry.

General dental practitioners are being sought to support research towards the development of a clinical risk assessment tool, and the College would like to encourage members to participate.
