We are open to all local or national dental students’ associations in the European region.

Our main aim is to represent European dental students on educational, professional and social matters and to advocate for improvements in these areas. We aim to advocate for high-quality dental education that gives students good scientific, clinical and ethical training to provide holistic care to their patients, with a positive influence on population health.
