The .dental top-level domain (TLD) is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that was delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on April 23, 2014. The registry operator for this TLD is Donuts Registry, which is a subsidiary of Donuts Inc. This company applied for a total of 307 new gTLDs as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program and paid $56 million in application fees alone. The .dental domain caters to the health sector, specifically dental professionals and related businesses.
There were some concerns raised regarding the .dental TLD during its application phase. The Australian government issued a GAC Early Warning against the application due to the string's reference to a regulated market and the lack of sufficient mechanisms in place to protect consumer harm. However, these warnings are strong recommendations from national governments to the ICANN Board, and applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members to address their concerns. Despite this warning, Donuts Inc was able to pass all the required processes and signed a Registry Agreement with ICANN on March 20, 2014. As of now, there are no known restrictions on owning or registering a .dental domain.
