YEAR 4 DENTAL STUDENTS SAY “OPEN WIDE”!

Although it is still semester break, many dental students in Year 4 have been coming to the UP dental clinic and volunteering for the weekly Prison Dental Service. Having passed the required theory and preclinical subjects (such as local anesthesia, simple extractions, basic restorative dentistry, and oral health assessment) they are now ready and able to start treating patients for the first time. Under close supervision the Year 4 students are now confident to put into practice what they have learnt in their first 3 years. UP staff and students needing a check up or cleaning should not hesitate to make an appointment at the clinic with one of our keen young dental students.
