IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TREATMENT PROVIDED BY DENTAL STUDENTS

  • We can no longer accept patients requiring dentures as we have so many people looking for this treatment
  • By attending the student clinic, you confirm that you accept your dental treatment will be carried out by dental students under the supervision of a qualified dentist.
  • If you are unable to attend student clinics, when required, then the offer of student treatment at Glasgow Dental Hospital & School will be withdrawn.
  • If you fail to attend student clinics, when appointed, then the offer of student treatment will be withdrawn.
  • Treatment by students is not covered by the National Wait Time Guarantees and there may be long waiting times to commence treatment.
  • If you have not received an appointment within 9 months of being placed on the student list you will be contacted to confirm if you still wish to remain on the list.
  • Appointments with a dental student are available Monday to Friday (9am-3pm) during university term time only, depending on the type of treatment you require.
