Peer Review

The NCDS maintains a Peer Review system designed to assist patients and dentists in resolving matters of dispute between them at no charge to either party. In response to a complaint relating to dental treatment, the matter is investigated and finally determined through a clinical examination by a panel of dentists and a lay observer. This is a discreet, sensitive and busy activity of the NCDS and its staff. Peer Review is a public interest voluntary service.
