Draft regulations relating to the restricted registration of informally trained persons as dental technicians

Promotion of Access to Information Act

2012 TARIFFS

See Denis, Discovery Health and GEMS tariffs for 2012 at "Price Lists" under "Members Only"

Double Invoicing

We urge all Technicians that are aware of this illegal practice to report it to DENTASA head office.

DENTASA will then report this unscrupouless practice to the relevant authorities. The laboratory will remain anonymous.

Liability Insurance

After much deliberation your exco has decided to remove the product liability insurance from the annual subs payable to DENTASA. This decision was taken due to the fact that there was too much unhappiness amongst our members, and it placed a huge burden onto DENTASA itself.

It will be up to each individual to decide for him or herself what route to follow.

The SADTC approved a new minimum salary of R9600,00.

How does DENTASA help you to get CPD credits?

From 2012 you can get at least 27 credits just for being a member, attending the AGM and branch meetings and completing the SADTJ questionnaires!

SMS Alerts

Auto opt-out system for SMS alerts.

When someone replies with an opt-out message (STOP, OPT-OUT or similar opt out message), the SMS gateway automatically adds their number to a blacklist that is linked to the DENTASA account. Once a number has been added to this blacklist, the gateway will not send any further messages to that number, if the message originates from the DENTASA account.

If you want to have your number removed from the blacklist please contact WinSMS on 0861 WINSMS (0861 94 67 67) during office hours Mon-Fri 08:30-17:00.

ABSA offers members of DENTASA credit card services  at STUNNING  rates.
