Join us for our next free webinar. Understanding the vital role of the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Lead in dental practice is more crucial than ever. This role isn't just about knowledge; it's about leadership and the ability to implement change.

The CQC states: ‘There should be an IPC lead with overall responsibility for infection prevention and control and the authority to lead and implement change where needed.’

In an exciting breakthrough that could revolutionise how we protect and repair our teeth, scientists at King's College London have discovered that keratin, a protein found in hair, skin, and wool, can naturally repair tooth enamel. This innovative approach offers a sustainable and highly effective alternative to traditional dental treatments, with the potential to transform what was once considered biological waste into a valuable clinical resource.

Dental nurses are the largest group of dental care professionals (DCPs) in the UK, and their numbers on the General Dental Council (GDC) register have been steadily increasing. According to data from the GDC, there were 65,797 dental nurses registered in 2025, a substantial rise from 59,238 in 2023.
