As a dentist in Baden-Württemberg, you must register with the Landeszahnärztekammer Baden-Württemberg.

The Landeszahnärztekammer is a public corporation based in Stuttgart. The main tasks of the chamber include,

• to represent the professional interests of its members
• to promote the education of the Chamber's members as well as their continuing professional education,
• to regulate the continuing education of dentists in the specialist fields,
• to supervise the fulfilment of the professional duties of its members,
• to look after the interests of quality assurance and to regulate the participation of the members of the Chamber in quality assurance,
• to promote the initial and further training of those employed by the members of the Chamber and to perform the tasks in accordance with the Vocational Training Act, and
• To inform and advise third parties, in particular patients, in matters relating to the practice of dentistry.

Note: If you move your professional activity abroad, you can remain a voluntary chamber member. This also applies in the event that you only transfer your residence abroad without practising professionally.

Dentists who are allowed to treat patients with statutory health insurance ("Kassenpatienten") on an outpatient basis are also members of the Kassenzahnärztliche Vereinigung Baden-Württemberg.
