Dr Wolfgang Doneus, President of the CED

The Council of European Dentists (CED) is a European not-for-profit association which represents over 320,000 dentists across Europe. It is composed of national dental associations and chambers from 30 European countries. Its key objectives are to promote high standards of oral healthcare and effective patient-safety centred professional practice across Europe, including through regular contacts with other European organisations and the EU institutions.   The CED is registered in the European Commission's Register of interest representatives and adheres to the Code of conduct for interest representatives, formulated on the basis of principles of openness and transparency. The CED defines its policy independently and is financed exclusively from membership fees.
