Dental Ambassadors

The Faculty of Dental Surgery is committed to supporting your ongoing professional development and promoting the highest standards of patient care. With almost 7,000 Fellows and Members worldwide and an extensive portfolio of exams and courses, as we expand, we must continue to reflect the needs of such a dynamic profession.

Following a recent review of our networks, we have changed the composition and duties of our regional representatives, encompassing support for the whole dental team. For this reason we have recently appointed a network of Dental Ambassadors, representing 17 geographical regions across the UK and Ireland, and international, covering Mediterranean and North Africa, Middle East, East & South East Asia.

The roles our Dental Ambassadors hold are:

  • Early Careers Dental Ambassadors
  • Dental Team Ambassadors
  • Dental Specialty Ambassadors
  • International Dental Ambassador 

The duties of our Dental Ambassadors:

  • Represent their dental community
  • Contribute back to their profession
  • Shape and influence the direction of the sector
  • Build their network and develop their skills 
  • Support trainees and colleagues in their region
  • Organise and support local and national events
