The British Society of Periodontology (BSP) has announced that dental hygienists and dental therapists have been given full membership status.
As full members, dental hygienists and dental therapists will have voting rights, which they did not have as associate members. They will continue to benefit from reduced subscription rates both for annual membership and registration fees for scientific meetings. It is hoped that these changes will encourage dental hygienists and dental therapist members of the BSP to play a full role in the activities of the society.
Full membership will automatically be conferred on existing associate members and will be offered to all new members at the point of application for membership of the society.

The GDC is considering the viability of restrictions that force patients to see a dentist before getting treatment from a hygienist or therapist.
The current situation creates unnecessary costs in having a treatment plan drawn up by a dentist. If a patient can access a DCP (dental care professional) directly, costs may be lower. The GDC discussion paper acknowledges that the question of direct access is a contentious one in dentistry as many hygienists and therapists would like to be able to see patients direct. Patients have also shown a demand to see dental hygienists. To date, this is sill open to decision.
Are you a hygienist or therapist who has an opinion on this? Please send us a comment.
