Dental Public Health

About

Dental public health is recognised as an important component of the modern dentist’s skill set. As populations live longer, the focus must be on adding ‘life to years rather than years to life’. Oral healthcare must be planned and delivered to optimise scarce resources. This successful outcome is fostered throughout the MDPH, exposing the student to research methods, fostering evidence-based practice, healthcare evaluation, and encouraging leadership, through structured modules.

Cork Dental School and Hospital

Founded in 1913 the Cork Dental School and Hospital is committed to excellence in education, patient care, research, and community service. Our graduating dentists, hygienists, and dental nurses embody this excellence and continue to develop these strengths throughout their careers.

Professor Mairead Harding, Professor of Dental Public Health & Preventive Dentistry at UCC, is shown here with recent graduates from our DPH programme.
