The British Dental Health Foundation (BDHF) elected Dennis Carroll as its new President during its AGM in March. Dennis takes over the role from Stuart Boulton, who has reached the end of his two-year term.

Dennis is well known in the dental industry as a Past President of the British Dental Trade Association and long term General Manager of 3M Espe. He has been actively involved with the BDHF since 1990 and has been on the Trustee Board for the past eight years. Speaking at the handing over, Dennis said 'I am very proud and pleased to be elected as President of the British Dental Health Foundation. We are entering an interesting phase for dentistry in the UK and, with the Board's backing, I hope I will be able to make a real contribution to our future challenges and opportunities.'

Dennis' first act as President was to confirm Avril Joy's election as Honorary Vice President. He is pictured presenting his predecessor, Stuart Boulton, with the Past Presidents' Medal.
