Membership options for all

Any dentist who has an interest in the field and who would like to enhance their skills is welcome to become a member of the BES. With a wide range of membership options available including: Full Membership, Postgraduate Membership, Undergraduate Membership, and many more – options are available for practitioners at all stages of their careers.

Dentists who join the Society can look forward to a number of fantastic member benefits. These include a monthly copy (or online copy) of the International Endodontic Journal, reduced rates at BES conferences, membership of the European Society of Endodontology (ESE), and the opportunity to enter for BES Awards and Prizes. No matter your level of expertise, the BES is able to support you on your career journey.

Education and networking

Members of the BES enjoy discounted rates at BES events and gain membership to the European Society of Endodontology. This provides members with a wide range of networking and educational opportunities both nationally and internationally. With a Spring Scientific Meeting every March, and Regional Meeting every November, along with various other events throughout the year, there are opportunities for the Society to meet regularly which ensure members experience a real sense of community.

BES Representative at the European Society of Endodontology, Dr Giuseppe Di Filippo remarks:

“BES meetings offer ample opportunities to learn and perfect your clinical skills, and to meet colleagues at different stages of their careers. The atmosphere at BES meetings is very friendly, with a great social programme.”

These events are fantastic opportunities to visit different areas of the country and abroad, hear from expert speakers about key topics in the profession, and discover the latest innovations in the endodontic field. These are excellent ways for practitioners to stay up-to-date with the latest news in dentistry, and catch up with friends and colleagues.

Access to official journal

On becoming a member of the BES, practitioners enjoy access to a monthly copy of the International Endodontic Journal. This is the official journal of the BES and ESE, and a leading international forum for publications in the field of endodontology. It is an excellent scientific resource and essential reading for general dentists, specialist endodontists, and dental researchers, teachers, and scientists, featuring high-quality articles discussing relevant clinical and academic topics.

Risk assessment

Access to the BES Case Assessment Tool is another fantastic benefit of becoming a member of the Society. This is the ideal resource for clinicians who wish to improve the predictability of the endodontic treatment they provide. The web-based case difficulty assessment tool is found in the BES EndoApp, and is designed to help dentists assess the risks and difficulty of a particular case. This allows clinicians to assess the difficulty of individual cases prior to treatment, enabling them to maximise safety and improve treatment outcomes. In doing this, clinicians can anticipate the challenges that may occur during treatment, and make an informed decision about whether to manage the case themselves, or refer onwards.

Community and recognition

By becoming part of the Society, practitioners of all experience levels can enjoy the benefits of an endodontic specific community with common goals and interests. The BES supports its members, and provides the space to move the field forward. This progress is essential for the continuous development of the specialty and the lifelong education of its members. The BES recognises its members by regularly presenting BES Prizes and Research Awards, which are open to a wide range of individuals to acknowledge achievements, and support their work.

Whether you have many years of experience and would like to grow your reputation in the field, or have just entered the world of endodontics and would like to join a supportive community, the BES offers a wide range of member benefits which encourage lifelong development.
