Opinion
Our opinion articles look to engage the views and opinions of people that are open to debate and discussion within the profession. This section will keep you aware of what people are thinking in dentistry today, introduce differing views for debate, and our short, sharp and punchy reads.
In depth
We take a subject, open it up and discuss it in depth. While our sister publication, the BDJ, focuses on largely clinical topics, we like to delve into anything and everything that is relevant to practising dentists on a daily basis.
Perspectives
Our perspectives pieces offer prospective authors an opportunity to take their opinions that one step further and go into more detail. They could be what you think of NHS dentistry, private dentistry, mixed and capitation plans, all the way through to articles on how best to cope – mentally and emotionally – in the profession today.
