Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which is made under the Dentists Act 1984, approves rules made by the General Dental Council setting out the requirements in respect of post-registration training which have to be met by registered dentists. In particular, rule 3 provides that all registered dentists must undertake a specified amount of post-registration training. Rule 10 sets out the circumstances in which a dentist may be erased from the register for non‑compliance with these rules, and rule 11 makes provision regarding applications for restoration to the register following such erasure.
