<p>To legally practise dentistry in the United Kingdom, a dentist must be registered
with the General Dental Council (GDC), the independent regulator of dentistry. Once
registered with the GDC, dentists can choose whether to practise in the National Health
Service or privately. To practise in the NHS, dentists must be on the dental performers
list.</p><p>The Department does not hold the information requested on the number of
overseas-qualified dentists that have joined the performers list in the last 12 months.
No estimate has been made of the number of overseas-qualified dentists that will join
the performers list in the next 12 months.</p>
