- Title
Dentist 50533. Does dentistry.
- Authors
Hancocks, Stephen
- Abstract
The author reflects on the responsibility of the dentist to protect their patients by preventing disease, treating its consequences, and ensuring cross-infection control in Great Britain. He relates the main points made by the General Dental Council (GDC), indicating that dentists using the courtesy title Doctor might confuse patients and that dentists should not use descriptions such as orthodontist if they are not on the relevant specialist register.
