Description

As a dental hygienist and therapist, you will help patients avoid and manage oral disease by promoting good oral health and providing treatments.

You will work independently on patients, in close liaison with a dental surgeon. For example:

evaluating the dental and medical history of patients and planning their care

extracting primary teeth and restoration of teeth

taking impressions and radiographs

This degree begins with a foundation in biomedical sciences, providing a basis for clinical work as the course progresses. Topics include:

physiology

craniofacial anatomy

pathology of oral disease

Your lecture-based learning continues throughout the degree, with advanced topics such as human disease, managing medical emergencies, and health promotion.

Clinical work forms a large part of your study programme, helping you develop professional skills for your future career. In your first year, you will begin clinical training. From your second year, you'll be treating patients at Newcastle Dental Hospital and other clinics, under supervision of our expert dental team.

You can also undertake elective study opportunities abroad.
