Dental Therapy

About this course

Dental therapy is a regulated healthcare profession that works alongside dentists to provide clinical dental care directly to patients, including many of the restorative and preventive treatments that previously required a qualified dentist. Dental therapists carry out fillings, extractions of primary teeth, administration of local anaesthesia, scaling and polishing, and the delivery of oral health education, working as part of the integrated dental team to extend the availability of high-quality dental care to more patients. The profession is growing in importance as NHS dental services seek to deploy the full skills of their clinical teams to meet increasing demand. At the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, this three-year full-time programme is delivered in state-of-the-art clinical facilities with a strong focus on integrated team training, developing your clinical dental skills alo
