Dental Care Professionals

Dental Care Professionals (DCPs) are trained healthcare workers who support dentists and dental hygienists in delivering oral health services. This group includes dental nurses, dental hygienists, dental therapists, dental technicians, and dental receptionists. They assist with patient care, prepare treatment areas, take X-rays, provide preventative advice, and sometimes perform certain procedures under supervision. DCPs play a vital role in enhancing the efficiency and quality of dental services, ensuring patients receive comprehensive, safe, and effective oral healthcare in a team-based environment.
