The British Dental Association is a mid-sized non-profit professional body and trade union representing dentists and dental students in the UK. Based in London, it encompasses all fields of dentistry, including general practice, community services, the armed forces, hospitals, academia, public health and research. It provides guidance through its website and a team of experts, maintains a local network of practitioners, and publishes the BDJ, a leading dental publication. The association supports members with education through local events and online courses, and engages with UK government to promote standards and oral health. It is owned and run by its members and reinvests income for the benefit of the profession, and in 2026 the BDJ launched an online collection of guideline articles.
