What is the Turkish Dental Association (TDB)?
The Türk Dişhekimleri Birliği (TDB) is the national professional body for dentists in Turkey. All practising dentists must be registered members. TDB publishes practice guidelines and maintains records of dental clinic operations.
How do I find or check a dentist in Turkey?
Open the 'Dişhekimi Bul' page at tdb.org.tr/dishekimi-bul. Its own text says you can search registered dentists by first name, surname and province: enter 'Ad' (first name) and 'Soyad' (surname) and select the 'İl' (province), or leave 'Tüm iller' (all provinces). We documented the form only, not the results, so we cannot say what a result shows.
Can I search by licence number or by clinic?
Not on the form we documented. It covers practitioners and offers only name and province fields. It is a directory of dentists, not of clinics.
Does the Turkish dentist search work without JavaScript or in English?
No to both, as far as our record shows. The page is a JavaScript app, and our record lists Turkish only, so the labels and prompts are in Turkish.
Where do I complain about a dentist in Turkey?
Our record for TDB holds no complaint route, so we cannot point to a verified complaint page. Start from TDB's official site, www.tdb.org.tr.
