Study day aims to boost dental campaign funds

The British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy (BSDHT) and the British Association of Dental Therapists (BADT) have united to apply for prescribing exemptions in a bid to broaden dental hygienists’ and dental therapists’ scope of practice for the benefit of their patients.
