Oral health students at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga will be working in the new Dental and Oral Health Clinic with renewed focus from Monday 2 August to Sunday 8 August during the national Dental Health Week.  The 2nd year Bachelor of Oral Health (Therapy/Hygiene) students will be treating patients in the University Clinic on Wednesday 4 August and Thursday 5 August as part of their studies. They will also have the chance to meet Dr Mark Sinclair, the President of the NSW Branch of the Australian Dental Association (ADA) during his visit to CSU in Wagga Wagga. Dr Sinclair is due to speak to  the students on ethics during a lecture between 11am and 12midday on Wednesday 4 August. During the student clinics, which are supervised by registered dentists and oral health practitioners, the students undertake a thorough check-up of the patients’ teeth and gums, clean, and polish. For patients aged under 18, routine filling work will also be provided. Students offer advice on preventing tooth decay and gum disease, and will also demonstrate to their patients how to clean and floss teeth and gums. Paediatric patients will also receive a toothbrush during their appointments in Dental Health Week. The Clinic, with the latest in dental equipment and software, opened at the end of 2009. The Clinic is taking appointments on 1300 278 642. Dental Health Week is a community awareness program organised by the ADA.
