Course Overview

This leading degree in Oral Health Science offers prospective students (including school leavers, qualified dental nurses, and those who are considering a career change) the opportunity to train for a structured professional career in dental hygiene and dental therapy; a sector currently experiencing a shortage in skilled practitioners.

The role of dental hygienists and dental therapists is varied. You will provide clinical and educational care in the community, including prevention, fillings, and treatment for periodontal (gum) disease. Strong values, an ethical approach, and good communication skills, as well as the ability to work well in a team, are essential.

You will receive a thorough understanding of all aspects of dental care including the latest in practical skills and procedures. Delivered from our purpose-built dental buildings in Inverness, Stornoway, and Dumfries, you will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and a highly skilled team of clinical and academic staff.
