The museum aims to bring out the relevance of the past, present and future of dentistry, to inspire and educate existing and new audiences and to influence the perception of the science, practice and social impact of dentistry. The museum will achieve this through growing and caring for its collection and by making it accessible to all through displays, publications, education services, research opportunities and in the virtual environment.
The museum has approximately 30,000 items in its care and still actively collects objects which reflect the development of the dental profession in the UK. The main collecting areas are extraction, conservation, cleaning, prophylaxis, surgery, anaesthesia, diagnosis, orthodontics, prosthetics, fine arts, archives, photography and the history of the BDA
