Officially the BDIA

The Association represents over 80 per cent of the UK dental industry making it the principal voice for manufacturers and suppliers of dental products and technologies. The Association also represents suppliers of a wide range of services to the dental industry, such as banking, insurance, software, publishing and accountancy. Since 1923, it has played a crucial role within the industry as a not-for-profit organisation, using its funds solely for the purpose of developing dentistry for the benefit of its members, the profession and the public.

The decision to change the Association’s name to the British Dental Industry Association is part of a wider business plan which will ensure the Association is well positioned to meet the future business needs of its members and where appropriate, the industry as a whole. 

BDIA executive director, Tony Reed comments “The new name conveys the inclusiveness of the Association and its relevance in a sector that is experiencing accelerated change.
