Dental Hygiene and Therapy is a practice-oriented profession. Clinical Education modules provide an excellent opportunity for students to acquire practical skills within an external clinical environment and experience the working conditions they will be exposed to after graduation.

During the first year, the module provides opportunities for the learners to observe the various Dental Health services and agencies available. They will be oriented to the assigned dental settings with the emphasis on oral health needs of children of school-going age and the health of the soft tissues in the mouth of adult patients.  Clinical education modules during the second and third year will involve more responsibilities. The students will able to conduct general and oral health assessment, integrate acquired knowledge and clinical skills to assess, plan and provide basic dental services. In addition they will use their basic management skills to manage and oversee a School Dental Clinic.
