This Order, which is made under the Dentists Act 1984, approves rules made by the General Dental Council setting out the requirements in respect of post-registration training which have to be met by registered dentists. In particular, rule 4 provides that all registered dentists must undertake a specified amount of post-registration training. Rule 10 sets out the circumstances in which a dentist may be erased from the register for non‑compliance with these rules, and rule 11 makes provision regarding applications for restoration to the register following such erasure.
