Surgical Courses
The Perfect Smile Comprehensive 7 Day Hands-on course
There are a number of surgical courses in the UK for dentists who wish to boost their skills and provide a great level of treatment for their patients. Some courses are based on oral surgery and others are focused on oral and maxillofacial surgery, and ultimately it will be down to you to learn of the key components of each individual course in order to ascertain which one will be best for you.
Oral surgery courses aim to encompass a wide variety of modules ranging from research methods, patient care and anatomy to management of complications and practical skills. Courses are designed to equip dentists with the necessary skills to operate on patients effectively and safely, as well as ensuring they know how to manage pre-operative and post-operative care and how to react in emergency situations. The range of treatments and procedures carried out by oral and maxillofacial surgeons is vast, and therefore the courses aim to incorporate a wide range of theoretical aspects.
Dental surgery courses are taught in a variety of settings and use a range of different teaching methods, as well as encouraging dentists to hone their own research skills. Teaching is usually delivered by means of a mixture of lectures, seminars and interactive sessions and these will run alongside practical training sessions in a clinical setting monitored by some of the most experienced practitioners in the UK.
To get onto a surgical course, dentists must hold an approved degree in dentistry, and applicants should be registered with the General Dental Council. Courses vary in terms of their content so it is a good idea to contact the relevant course instructors for more details. As dentistry is advancing all the time, the content of the course may change from year to year so make sure you look at the most recent course outlines.
