Bachelor of Science in Dental Therapy

The Bachelor of Science in Dental Therapy [BSc(DT)] program is offered by the USask College of Dentistry in partnership with the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority (NITHA), Saskatchewan Polytechnic, and Northlands College.

Dental therapists provide operative, pediatric, endodontic, periodontic and oral surgery clinical care, along with preventive treatment and health education. Dental therapists work at different levels including: individual patients when providing dental care, classroom groups when providing health education, and with entire communities when organizing community wellness events.

The BSc(DT) program focuses on dental care for all Canadians. It is offered in six consecutive terms over two years instead of the usual three years of study, allowing students to enter the workforce after the shortest possible time of study. The program uses cutting-edge technology with haptic dental simulators in four campus locations (Saskatoon, La Ronge, Prince Albert, and Regina).
