GDC and the title 'Dr'
The GDC have produced a consultation document regarding advertising. In it is a suggestion that the title 'doctor' should not be used by dentists.
'Dentists should not use the courtesy title Doctor unless they have a PhD
or are a medically qualified and registered doctor. Its use as a courtesy title is potentially misleading to patients and it is important that patients do not assume that you have training or competences which you do not possess.'
The document can be accessed from the site

It is important to express your views on this matter vociferously
