	answer text	<p>The General Dental Council (GDC) is the independent statutory regulator of dentists and dental care professionals in the United Kingdom. As such, it holds a register of qualified dental professionals. It does not, however, hold data on whether a registrant is actively practising, either in the National Health Service or privately. The NHS Dental Statistics for England, 2021/22, Annual Report estimates that 24,272 dentists performed NHS activity during 2021/22, an increase of 539 on the previous year. However, the report does not specify the frequency of this activity.</p>
