SUCCESS, TOGETHER

Committed to Excellence in Ethical Cosmetic Dentistry

The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry was formed in November 2003 by a group of dentists, many of them leading practitioners in the field of cosmetic dentistry, who saw a need to share their knowledge with others. The aim is to create a dynamic, active group of dentists and laboratory technicians; however the role of all other members of the team – therapists, hygienists, practice managers and assistants – in the overall aesthetic experience are equally important.

We plan to create an environment where everyone can come together to share their knowledge and experiences, so that everyone can become better at what they do – regardless of their level of prior knowledge. Currently any dentist can offer cosmetic dentistry irrespective of their training or experience beyond the basic dental degree. There are no specialist qualifications and no specialist register. Techniques constantly progress and the public are becoming increasingly dentally educated and discerning so it’s essential to stay up-to-date.

MISSION-DRIVEN

The British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry has designed a Charter. The aim of this Charter is to aid in the ethical and clinical standards expected of BACD members.

The Charter has been constructed for both the protection of the Academy and its members.

The BACD expects all members:

to ensure they uphold and adhere to the BACD constitution
to ensure clinical work published in association with the BACD is of good standing and representative of our philosophy
to ensure they receive comprehensive training for a particular procedure, before such procedure is carried out
to ensure patients receive a comprehensive treatment plan, including advantages, disadvantages and costings of each option, clearly explained, in order for informed consent to be obtained
to be aware when to refer, should case requirements be in excess of their current skill set
to ensure they continually update their skills and clinical decision-making in the interests of their patients, and the BACD

Confidental’s purpose is to provide emotional first aid for dentists in distress.

They can allow you to offload and talk through your issues in complete confidence; they will then offer you signposting to further useful organisations if appropriate.

Sometimes all we are needed to do is listen!

How Confidental Works
When you call Confidental you will be greeted by a short automated message. The call is then directed to one of our listeners (all practicing or retired dentists) who will listen to you and help to empower you to come to your own solution or signpost you to a relevant organisation who may be able to offer you further advice.

Contact number: 033 3987 5158

As Confidental is run entirely by volunteers we will, unfortunately, be unable to catch every call.

CONFIDENTAL is a 24/7 helpline run by volunteers, and in the unlikely event your call is not answered promptly, don’t despair ! Please wait a few minutes and try again. We are there for you every day of the year.
