The first dental qualification in the UK was awarded by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1860. From then on dentistry was closely aligned with, and partly under the thumb, of the medical profession. It thus differed from the USA. Over the years there was slow separation, resulting in 2021 in a new College of General Dentistry.
英国的第一个牙科资格认证于 1860 年由英格兰皇家外科学院授予。从那时起,牙科就与医学紧密结合,并在一定程度上受其控制。这与美国不同。多年来,这种情况逐渐分离,最终导致 2021 年成立了一个新的普通牙科学院。
