The British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy (BSDHT) has unveiled their new website which makes it easier for the public to find a member in their area.

Patients are now able to search from BSDHT members practising near them through the ‘Find a Dental Hygienist/Therapist’ feature which is central to the new website.

Michaela ONeill, President of the BSDHT, said: ‘This is a brand new feature, and one which we are encouraging everyone to get involved with. By becoming part of the BSDHT members have an incredible opportunity to grow their public presence and boost their patient lists.

‘One of the biggest issues affecting oral health in the UK today is the ability for the public to access services; by giving our website a patient centric approach we hope to address this and make people more comfortable about visiting their dental team.’

The new website also offers many other benefits to members including access to the latest goings on in dentistry through the improved news section; a live Twitter feed; and information about the upcoming Oral Health Conference and Exhibition in Belfast later this year.
