Who treats the dental patients?
UQ Dental School students are some of the best in the state, requiring excellent scores to enter UQ Dentistry courses. Undergraduate students study and train for five years to become a dentist or three years to become an oral health therapist. Postgraduate students are qualified dentists studying to become dental specialists. Before they treat in clinic, UQ training dentists perform up to 700 hours of simulation practice. This is followed by over 2,600 hours clinical work, ensuring they become highly competent practitioners. All treatment is supervised by registered dentists and specialists.
