Oral health is an essential component of a healthy life. Complex dental work contributes to this, but proper care and prevention are just as important.

While dentists perform specialised treatments, oral health therapists have broad expertise in general oral health care and education.

• learn in Australia’s newest dental teaching hospital, in the state-of-the-art Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building
• study within a close-knit oral health learning community
• benefit from early clinical exposure and extensive placements
• practise using equipment in our Dental Simulation Clinic
• tackle real-life case scenarios in teams
