Wellbeing
Your wellbeing is important to us - we work hard to understand the difficulties dentists face and offer support to help you through them.
Dentistry is invaluable to society, and a hugely rewarding profession. At the same time, we are aware that stress and isolation is a common issue for dentists. In this section we have gathered resources to help support your wellbeing, build resilience, and connect with colleagues in your area.
Need support with your business, contract, or employer relations? Our expert advisors provide Extra, Expert, and employed members throughout the UK with unlimited 1-2-1 advice via phone or email.

Local networking
Connect with peers near you
Our 21 branches and sections connect dentists and teams locally, offering a varied programme of education as well as social events to network with peers. When you create a BDA account, you’ll automatically be assigned a branch based on your postal address, but you can opt in to receive details from any branch or section, perhaps closer to where you work?
