Dental Qualifications
To register with the GDC and to practise dentistry in the UK a registerable qualification is needed. The primary qualification is usually indicated by the letters BDS or BChD(Bachelor of Dental Surgery) or LDS (Licentiate in Dental Surgery).
The letters MFGDP(UK) or DGDP(UK), MGDS RCS(Eng) and FFGDP(UK) indicate postgraduate diplomas awarded by the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK) at various stages of a dentist’s career.
The highest qualification that the Faculty can award is the Fellowship diploma (FFGDP(UK)).
