Message from the School of Dentistry

The School of Dentistry is responsible for educating students who want to become oral health practitioners otherwise known as dentists and dental hygienists. It is also our responsibility to create awareness on the importance of oral health.

Many people only see the dentist or dental hygienist when there is pain in the mouth which is often a sign that you waited too long. The human mouth is full of bacteria that can harm your mouth by forming a sticky layer called plaque on your teeth, causing damage to your teeth and gums. If left untreated oral health conditions can lead to other problems with your overall health.

Inside this report, there are easy-to-read stories such as getting a simple head and neck examination during your regular dental check-up can be vital in detecting oral cancer early. We hope that these stories provide oral health guidance and insight.
