Welcome to the October issue of BDJ Team! This is the eighth online issue of BDJ Team so far, which means eight free hours of CPD are now available on our CPD site, www.nature.com/bdjteamcpd

Over 2,000 dental care professionals (DCPs) have now signed up for BDJ Team CPD and are working their way through the multiple choice questions. If you're looking for the CPD articles, they are all listed on this page of the website: www.nature.com/bdjteam/cpd

Special announcement

I am pleased to announce that we have decided to extend our free CPD offering into 2015! In 2015, we will offer another ten free hours of verifiable CPD. This means that all in all, you can tot up 20 free hours of CPD through reading articles in BDJ Team. Many of these hours will also be on core topics recommended by the GDC.

But of course BDJ Team is not all about CPD! This October issue looks at dental erosion, the latest dentistry news, patient confidentiality, and a new group of BDJ Team readers tell us about themselves in Flash Interviews.

If you have any suggestions for future content or would like to contribute, drop me a line any time!
