An Oral Health Sciences degree enables registration as both a dental hygienist and dental therapist with the General Dental Council (GDC). You'll develop into a highly trained member of the dental team. These professionals maintain oral wellness through disease prevention, health education, and treatment of gum conditions and tooth decay.
The program covers core dental science principles and their clinical applications. Early hands-on training in simulated environments prepares you for patient care by the first semester's end. You'll gain skills in professional communication, health assessment, and periodontal treatment.
Unique learning opportunities include working with Thiel cadavers, which maintain remarkable lifelike flexibility and tissue characteristics through specialized preservation techniques.
