If you are a dentist currently involved in your LDC and you would like to know more about how joining us could benefit your LDC and its work, please contact us.
LDC work
Local Dental Committees engage with local stakeholders to promote the importance of oral health services in local areas. They build their relationships to improve services and develop improved local ways of working.
The LDC Confederation is the collective voice of member LDCs and advocates for improvements to systems and regulations at the national level to help make the ambitions of LDCs a reality at the local level.
