The Bachelor of Science in Dental Therapy [B.Sc.(DT)] program is offered by the USask College of Dentistry in partnership with the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority (NITHA), Saskatchewan Polytechnic, and Northlands College.
Dental therapists provide clinical and preventive services to children and adults in private practice and community-based settings. Clinical treatment includes patient examinations, diagnosis of dental decay and abscesses, taking and interpreting x-rays, as well as providing restorative dentistry such as fillings and stainless steel crowns on children. Dental therapists also perform tooth extractions on children and adults. Preventive services include topical fluorides, pit and fissure sealants, oral health education, health promotion and disease prevention at the individual, group and community-level settings. Dental therapists also refer patients for specialist care.
The B.Sc.(DT) program focuses on dental care for all Canadians. It is offered in six consecutive terms over two years instead of the usual three years of study, allowing students to enter the workforce after the shortest possible time of study. The program uses cutting-edge technology with haptic dental simulators in four campus locations (Saskatoon, La Ronge, Prince Albert, and Regina). |
