What is a Dentist?

The World Health Organisation defines Dentistry as "the science and art of preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries and malformations of the teeth, jaws and mouth".

Dentistry is an ethical profession and practising dentists are expected to place the welfare of their patients before any other consideration.

Members of the Australian Dental Association, Victorian Branch agree to abide by a Code of Ethics adopted by the Branch Council after consultation with the membership.
