Queen: ‘I had braces too - a very long time ago’

The Queen was formally opening the Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals when she told Ilia Aristovich, 10 who was having orthodontic treatment, that she had ‘had braces’, a very long time ago.  “I think it’s worth it, in the end,” she said. Her Majesty saw first-hand the work being carried out across the facility’s specialties, visiting the adult dental treatment floor, the paediatric treatment floor and the auditory implant centre.

The BDA has warned the shortage of face masks sparked by the coronavirus outbreak now poses an imminent risk of disruption to UK dental services, unless officials and industry are prepared to ease rationing. The Association reports it has been inundated by calls from member practices unclear on their options, in the wake of panic buying and supply problems.

What people are saying about GDPUK

Ian Dunn

GDPUK is an invaluable resource for any dentist from newly qualified to retirement. The advice, both clinical and non-clinical, is second to none and it a great place to share ideas.

Lynda Raybould

"Thank goodness for GDPUK"

Ed Byrne

"Changes in the NHS, commercial pressures and the challenges of regulation have definitely made it more difficult to sit back and enjoy your dentistry.However, I firmly believe that GDPUK provides a wonderful family where practitioners can communicate, obtain support and advice. Practitioners need no longer be isolated. Help and advice is just a posting away."
