European Dental Technicians Day 2019

FEPPD, the largest representative body for Dental Laboratory owners and Independent Dental Technicians in Europe, is proposing to dedicate an event to be held on every calendar year, in all E.U. states, for the promotion of our profession as service providers to the European dental Patient.

We are therefore inviting all interested organisations across Europe, to prepare well ahead of the 7 June 2019 deadline, for this activity that is meant to reach out to the general public in various media forms.

The ultimate goal, being that of exposing our trade, profession and services, which until now most dental patients are not aware that it is the Dental Technician that provides for their new functional dental device and the confidence that comes with perfect aesthetic solutions to every individual.
FEPPD is not imposing any fixed set of rules as how each national organisation celebrates this Dental Technician Day in his country.

We may suggest ideas like :

• A voluntary Open Day at Dental labs or Dental Prosthesis Schools to the general public offering live demonstrations.
  
• Photographic and Video exhibitions illustrating the manufacturing of dental devices, both traditional and hi tech processes.
  
• Conferences to the general public, reception points in public places, (railway stations, shopping centres and hospitals).
  
• Information adherent to different solutions available, with special reference to advice to the elderly in the proper use and maintenance of their dental prosthesis.
  
• Media interviews and articles on prominent journals.
  
• Social media, distribution of flyers. You are invited to make use of the relevant banner and graphic illustration related to the Dental Technician Day from our Facebook page and that from our FEPPD website.

On this site, we are creating a data bank of photos and videos as material to be used on this unique event. We will be also be announcing your event upon your forwarding your info.

Should you wish to contribute to our site with your own media collection, there will be further material to be shared by all dental technician organisations for a more successful event !

Since we have managed to establish such an important yearly event for the years to follow, in the interest of the well being our businesses, we are asking for a collective participation by all stakeholders to mobilise the public to understand who the Dental Technician is, and what we stand for.
From the political aspect, making a success of this event means that we will have more exposure on a yearly basis with the general public, and all the relevant data and experience gathered will be used to influence E.U. and local political decisions to our advantage.
Let us all be actors in this success, let us be proud of who we are, and deliver an effective future investment to our profession !
