Your LDC
The East London & the City Local Dental Committee (LDC) is the democratically elected, statutory body representing all Primary Care Dental Practitioners working under an NHS dental contract, across East London and the City.
We act as the collective, independent voice of local dentists, ensuring their views, challenges, and professional needs are heard by commissioners, regulators, and wider healthcare partners. Our role is to support the dental profession so it can deliver safe, high‑quality, and accessible oral healthcare to the diverse communities we serve. We provide guidance, share best practice, offer professional support, and work collaboratively to address local issues affecting dentistry — from workforce pressures and contract matters to patient access and clinical standards.
The LDC is run by dentists, for dentists, and we are committed to advocating for the profession, strengthening communication across the dental community, and helping shape a sustainable future for NHS dentistry in East London and the City.
The LDC is funded by dentists via a statutory levy deducted at source.
