Bachelor of Oral Health

The Bachelor of Oral Health is a comprehensive and evidence-based degree, and is the only professional oral health degree available in South Australia. It provides students with in-depth knowledge and skills relating to the prevention and management of oral diseases and health promotion; and prepares them to practice oral health therapy at the highest level. The relatively small number of students accepted into the degree each year means that students work and study as part of a close-knit and supportive oral health learning community. The degree offers a combination of innovative teaching methods including online interactive classes, case-based scenarios, group work, and simulation using the advanced facilities in the Dental Simulation Clinic. Students are given early exposure to clinical practice and undertake extended placements in a variety of dental settings in both city and rural locations. A community outreach dental program offers students the chance to develop their skills, while helping to improve the oral health of disadvantaged people across South Australia.
