ORHL3002 builds on the knowledge gained by students in second year and relates this to the oral health issues that are particularly relevant to children and adolescents. Children face particular challenges in managing their oral health, including diet and learning hygiene techniques. Adolescents require certain skills to maintain their motivation and interest in both diet and hygiene strategies. Clinical sessions provide opportunities for students to develop the necessary clinical skills in the treatment and management of children and adolescents.
