Facebook has shut down a page created by an angry parent upset at a California dentist who allegedly mistreated his son during a tooth extraction. But the parent is vowing to continue a campaign to close down the dentist's business, including creating a new Facebook page.

The British Dental Association is calling on dentists to nominate themselves for membership of the General Dental Practice Committee and 12 others representing practitioners working in general practice (including those who are wholly private), as well as other branches of the profession. It is not necessary to be a BDA member to stand for election.

The National Association of Specialist Dental Accountants and Lawyers (NASDAL) was formerly known as NASDA, but changed its name to reflect the increasing number of lawyers who are members.
