Like many major organizations, the British Dental Association has had a number of bases over the years, from 1880 in private homes, next in shared and rented accommodations and then, for many years, leasing a whole building in London's medical district. The latter included a library and museum, both of major interest to dental historians. Sadly, that phase came to an end in 2025. This paper explores why that happened and its worrying implications for dental historians.
