About the CED  

 

Dr Orlando Monteiro da Silva, 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 31 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.

EU Manual of Dental Practice

The CED provides on its website information on topics relevant to the dental profession and oral health in Europe to the general public.  EU Manual of Dental Practice in particular contains extensive information on oral health systems and the ways in which dentists practise in 32 European countries. The EU Manual has been written as a practical handbook for dentists who are considering working in another country, and also serves as a source of regulatory and statistical data that may be of use to dentists, patients, researchers and policy makers alike.
