To practice dentistry and dental surgery in the United Kingdom, you need to first obtain medical and dental qualifications. You may do so through one of the two main bodies that are authorised by the General Dental council and General Medical council to bestow degrees and diplomas in dentistry and dental surgery.
To be added to the 'Dentist's Register' you must have first gained a recognised level of qualification from one of the UK's dental schools, in other words a university with a dental faculty, or from one of the UK Royal College of Surgeons. The requirements for undertaking a dentistry course are a minimum of A-level education in subjects pertaining to science such as chemistry and biology.
The course will educate you in clinical practices and patient care. Graduates from UK dental schools, i.e. universities in the United Kingdom with a dentistry faculty, will need to do a year of vocational training after their course is completed in order to register with the General Dental Council, which will then allow them to practice dentistry within the UK.
You must be added to the 'Dentist's Register' no matter what the area of dentistry practice it is that you wish to go into, whether you wish to work for the NHS as a state dentist, or set up or work for a private dentistry practice.
If you have already completed a degree (not in dentistry) and received a minimum upper second award for it, and also have exceptional A-level grades (regardless of subject) you can be considered for entry onto a five year dental degree course. If you have completed a degree in a subject with a large amount of biology or chemistry contained within the course, and have received a minimum upper second, then you may be eligible for the fast track four year course, as you already have the level of knowledge in the sciences that is required.
