Who we are

UK Dental Students is the largest active, student-led dental community in the United Kingdom.

Founded to create a year-round platform for connection and growth, we bring dental students together nationwide to network, develop practical skills, and prepare for life beyond university. Too often, valuable opportunities are fragmented or inaccessible. We exist to change that.

Our mission is to build a strong, forward-thinking community that equips students with the confidence, competence, and connections needed to thrive in modern dentistry.

Through hands-on courses, expert-led webinars, national conferences, mentoring initiatives, social events, and curated digital content, we provide accessible, high-quality opportunities designed around real student needs. While much of our community access remains free, our premium experiences are delivered at affordable price points to ensure inclusivity.

With over 1,600 engaged members and partnerships with leading organisations such as Smile Dental Academy, we are proud to be shaping the next generation of dentists across the UK.

This is more than a platform. It is a community built for growth, opportunity, and impact.
