'Deeply unjust': the impact of the overseas registration exam backlog

‘It’s deeply frustrating to feel capable and prepared yet powerless’: for one dentist, the overseas registration exam (ORE) booking system has taken a heavy toll. We hear why change could help thousands of fully-trained dentists enter the UK dental workforce.

Since qualifying in 2016, I have worked across both public health and private clinical settings for more than nine years, delivering comprehensive dental care to a wide range of patients.

My clinical focus has been on restorative dentistry, and I have completed more than one thousand full smile transformations. I was also active in patient education and public health, having led dental hygiene programs in underserved areas early in my career.

Alongside my clinical work, I’ve built a professional social media presence with more than 10,000 followers, using the platform to showcase my work and educate the public about dental treatments.
