Dental nursing first step help

Hello there, i am new here so i apologise if this question has been ask before. i need help. i worked as a dental nurse overseas for 2 years and I'm moving to uk and i want to get registered so i can also work as well.
i look at several colleges but have no clue which one is good, any suggestions?
and also i read that there are two ways to get registered, one is through GDC and another one is NEDBN. is it right? I'm not quite sure if i have to take both or just one of it. what's the difference?
sorry for the long post. but I'm really clueless and need a lot of help at the moment. thank u very much!
Hello there,
I'm a qualified dental nurse and have been working since 2010.
May I ask what qualification it is that you hold?
In order to work in the UK it is the GDC you must register with - NEBDN is optional but GDC is a requirement.

You can use this link to check if your qualification is valid in the UK and find out what you need to do to register to work here.
I hope this helps!
