Dental professionals at the top of their field, including Professor Jonathan Sandy, Head of the University’s School of Oral and Dental Sciences, will be speaking at the conference.  The range of talks will include forensic dentistry, an update for students about the changes in NHS dentistry and the work of Bridge2Aid, who provide access to dental pain relief for millions of people in the developing world.

On the final day, the University’s Dental School will be the venue for the largest UK Student Dental Trade Fair together with various hands-on workshops, such as clinical periodontics and root canal treatment, in the School’s adult dental clinic.

Lee Feinberg, a 4th year Bristol Dental student and conference organiser, said: “The conference offers the chance for students from all over the country to meet and for new bonds to be established between students and dental schools.  The event also enables dental students to learn something different, with guest lecturers providing fascinating talks about topics which are not taught within the normal curriculum.”
