Orthodontist Professor Kevin O’Brien has been elected to be Chair of the General Dental Council, to succeed Alison Lockyer. The result was announced in London Wednesday 21 September, at 5.30pm.

GDPUK welcomes the election of a dentist to this important role.

 

GDPUK has an exclusive interview with Martin Mills, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Dental Directory.

The Dental Directory started life in 1971 as the Billericay Dental Supply Company. Founded by Gordon Mills who remains the company chairman, the fledgling business began by offering a mail order service. Although Gordon, his son Martin and other staff would visit dentists if requested, it wasn’t until 1988 that the first sales representative was employed by which time the company had been renamed The Dental Directory.
