Oral and Dental Health Sciences (Dental Hygiene and Therapy) BSc Honours (A207)
This practical degree equips you with the professional skills you'll need for a career as a dental hygienist and therapist.
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.
