Addressing Oral Health Care (Charles Sturt University Dental and Oral Health Clinics)

Our work and impact

Charles Sturt University’s Dental and Oral Health Clinics provide high-quality dental services while training the next generation of oral health professionals. Located across several regional campuses, the clinics deliver preventative and restorative dental care using modern facilities and technologies.

By combining patient care with student clinical training, the clinics improve access to oral health services in regional communities while supporting the development of skilled dental practitioners.

Who it supports

The clinics support:

  • Community members seeking affordable dental care
  • Patients in regional and rural areas with limited access to dental services
  • Dental and oral health therapy students gaining clinical experience
  • Local healthcare systems and communities.

Key focus areas include:

  • Preventative oral health care: Providing dental check-ups, oral health education and preventative treatments that support long-term oral health.
  • Restorative dental treatments: Delivering a range of dental procedures to treat oral health conditions and improve patient wellbeing.
  • Clinical training for students: Supporting dentistry and oral health therapy students to gain hands-on experience under professional supervision.
  • Improving regional healthcare access: Providing accessible dental services to regional and rural communities that may have limited access to care.

The initiative aims to:

  • Improve oral health outcomes for regional communities
