The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care services in England.
From 1 April 2011, under the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2008, all primary dental care services that provide regulated activities, whether NHS or private, must be registered with us.
Although most primary dental care services must be registered from 1 April 2011, some have registered before this date. All NHS trusts and primary care trusts that directly provide dental care services have been registered since 1 April 2010 and independent hospitals that provide dental care services must be registered from 1 October 2010. Please see the CQC website for more details.
