Abstract
Changes in social structure and advances in technology will influence oral healthcare and the dental workforce. The Council of European Dentists (CED) acknowledges distinct differences between existing dentists and dentists of the future, identifying skills and competencies necessary to make the dentist of the future fit for purpose. These skills and competences are discussed in the context of the profile of the dentist of the future, highlighting the need to review arrangements for the recruitment and retention of future dental workforce.
