The British Dental Association, founded in 1880, is the professional association and registered trade union for dentists in the UK. The association’s mission is to promote the interests of its members, advance the science, arts and ethics of dentistry and improve the nation’s oral health. Also, at some time, possibly during the 1970s, the Association produced a blue wool scarf with an Association crest in light blue in one corner (XXXXXX -condition, good)
