Our programme covers both clinical and health promotional subjects. We offer lectures and tutorials in dental hygiene and dental therapy. Our health promotion module includes oral hygiene and dietary advice. Our graduates are able to work in all sectors of dentistry, including general dental practice. They are trained to carry out a range of procedures such as:
- intra and extra oral assessment
- scaling and polishing
- applying materials to teeth such as fluoride and fissure sealants
- taking dental radiographs
- providing dental health education on a one to one basis or in a group situation
- undertaking routine restorations in both deciduous and permanent teeth, on adults and children
- extracting deciduous teeth under local infiltration analgesia
- treating patients under conscious sedation provided the dentist remains in the surgery throughout the treatment.
Our programme prepares students for many career paths in the healthcare field. They are adequately equipped to be employed in the Ministry of Health, Teaching hospitals, Private hospitals and Clinics as well as in schools and other relevant establishments.
We are aware that after some years of field experiences, many graduates may consider establishing private clinics. Hence, our programmes structure is suitably designed to build Entrepreneurship skills, as part of the courses in the curriculum.
