A message from our Chair
We are delighted to launch this new online space designed to support and connect dental professionals across Somerset.
Our mission is to represent, support, and advocate for dentists working in both NHS and private sectors throughout the county. This website is here to provide you with easy access to guidance, resources, events, and updates relevant to our profession locally and nationally.
As Chair, my vision for the Somerset LDC is to build a proactive, transparent and inclusive committee that genuinely listens to the profession and responds to its evolving needs. I want us to be a trusted voice that engages meaningfully with decision-makers, while also fostering a strong local network of dental professionals who feel valued, supported, and well-informed. Through collaboration, education, and advocacy, I believe we can help shape a future for dentistry in Somerset that is both resilient and patient-focused.
Whether you are a general dental practitioner, a practice manager, or a dental care professional, we hope you find this site informative and useful. Please explore our latest news, minutes from recent meetings, and upcoming training opportunities. We are also keen to hear from you – if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you for visiting, and we look forward to working together to support and strengthen dentistry in Somerset.
Andre Louw
Chair, Somerset Local Dental Committee
