Why Choose The MJDF?

No other examination is as relevant to your career.

The vast majority of dentistry in the UK is undertaken in primary care. The MJDF is the only examination of its type that recognises this and examines you on the skills and knowledge you actually use in practice.

Some skills that bridge the divide between primary and secondary care are also tested, making the MJDF a good stepping stone towards specialism.

Wherever your career takes you, the MJDF is a relevant test of your skills and knowledge.

MJDF is the UK’s most popular examination

Over 1800 dentists sat MJDF examinations in the past 12 months.

Since its inception, the MJDF has grown the reputation within the profession as the marker of the successful completion of foundation training.

Two Faculties for less than the price of one

The MJDF is run by the two dental faculties at The Royal College of Surgeons of England. Both faculties provide support to people going through the MJDF.

Upon successfully passing the MJDF you can be a member of both faculties for less than the price of a single membership to one of the faculties. That means, you get dedicated support on primary care dentistry from the FGDP(UK), and support on entering and practising in secondary care from the FDS. No other Royal College can offer a package of support to rival that provided by the dental faculties at the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
