About Us

We support, represent, and empower our members while championing public awareness, education, and professional excellence. This is our commitment to each other, and to the nation we serve.

Who We Are

At BODEA, we proudly stand as the official voice of dentistry in Botswana. We are a professional body made up of dentists, specialists, dental therapists, hygienists, students, and academics who are committed to advancing the art and science of oral healthcare across the country.

Founded to unify and support the dental profession, we work tirelessly to ensure that all our members are empowered with the tools, knowledge, and representation they need to thrive in their practice and serve their communities with excellence. From the smallest clinic in a rural village to the most advanced dental facilities in our cities, we are here to advocate, connect, and elevate.

We champion the professional development of our members through accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs, conferences, seminars, and training workshops. We collaborate with both local and international institutions to bring the latest research, techniques, and innovations into our practices.
