    The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has constituted the National Dental Commission (NDC), replacing the Dental Council of India (DCI) from 19 March 2026. The NDC is now the new apex regulator for dental education and profession in India, framed under a modern law that repeals the old Dentists Act, 1948.

    It will set standards, rate dental colleges, promote research, regulate fees in private colleges, and strengthen ethics and registration, aiming for better quality and transparency in dental care.
