This five-year degree is designed to help you build the skills youÕll need as a dental professional. The Institute of Dentistry at Barts and the London follows a new and innovative curriculum: youÕll study care of the mouth, including prevention and treatment of dental diseases, screening for oral cancers, managing trauma, orthodontics and oral surgery.
Our location in east London means youÕll serve a population of great diversity and encounter a wide range of disease, including some of the more unusual oral cancers. YouÕll be exposed to patients early on, and as you progress in your studies youÕll work in our outreach clinics in Canary Wharf, Stratford and Southend-on-Sea.
We encourage you to take a holistic approach to dentistry by studying the human sciences along with your core dentistry modulesÊÐ including sociology and psychologyÊÐ to examine patientsÕ attitude to oral healthcare and the dental profession.
