# The European Qualifications (Health and Social Care Professions) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, Paragraph 37: Visiting dentists: saving of old law for up to one year


(1) Where, immediately before exit day—
(a) a visiting dentist was entitled under paragraph 4 or 7 of Schedule 4 to the 1984 Act to provide occasional dental services, or
(b) the registrar was in receipt of the required documents (within the meaning of paragraph 5 of that Schedule) from a dentist seeking to acquire that entitlement,
any provision made by or under the Act, or by the 1998 Regulations, continues to apply in relation to the dentist without the amendments that Part 1 of this Schedule makes to the provisions relating to visiting dentists from relevant European states.
(2) But a visiting dentist’s entitlement does not continue (or further continue) under paragraph 7 of Schedule 4 to the 1984 Act on or after exit day (and, accordingly, the entitlement lapses at the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 8(1) or (2) of that Schedule).
