Students in their second year of dentistry at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange are finding out what teamwork is all about as they start the next stage of their studies working in the University’s Dental and Oral Health Clinic. Supervised by local practicing dentists from Bathurst and Orange, the students are focusing on oral hygiene procedures such as scaling and polishing, fluoride applications and oral hygiene advice. "At this stage, students are also performing comprehensive examinations including x-rays,” Associate Professor Dr Cheryl Chapple from the School of Dentistry and Health Sciences at CSU in Orange said. “They will always be supervised by a professional dentist and will work up to more complex procedures through the five year course. Academics, local dentists and the students are working as a team to ensure that the communities in the central west of NSW receive access to high quality dental health care.”
