Dental Council of Guyana

All dentists must have their licence prominently displayed at their place of practice.

The licence should be placed in a location that is both visible and easily accessible, ensuring that patients can read it without difficulty.

If you visit a clinic that does not have a licence or an updated licence on display, please be cautious for your safety and promptly make a report to the Dental Council of Guyana.

Only licenced and qualified Dental practitioners are authorized to provide Dental Care in Guyana, in accordance with the Dental Registraction Act and other relevant legislation.
