Licence in Dental Surgery (LDS) — The Royal College of Surgeons
The Licence in Dental Surgery (LDS) is the oldest continuously existing dental qualification in the United Kingdom. Begun in 1860, under a charter by HM Queen Victoria in The 1858 Medical Act, it granted the Royal College of Surgeons the power to institute and hold examinations for the purpose of testing the fitness of persons to practise as dentists and to grant certificates of such fitness.
