National University of Singapore - Faculty of Dentistry

The Faculty of Dentistry had its early beginnings in 1929 as the first Dental School in the Far East set up by British Government. Since its inception it has undergone many changes first as a dental department within the King Edward VII College of Medicine and later to obtain full Faculty status in 1966. The school has produced hundreds of well trained and competent graduates providing essential dental services to the people in this part of the world and beyond. Many of the school alumni are residing in major cities of the world. Currently located at the National University Hospital campus at Kent Ridge, it has the latest modern facilities to train dental surgeons for the future. The faculty is rightly committed to the development of scientifically orientated, technically capable and socially sensitive dental practitioners.
The Faculty of Dentistry is located within the National University Hospital (NUH) which is the main teaching hospital in Singapore.
The Faculty occupies 3 storeys in NUH providing a flexible and conducive environment for teaching, research and practise of dentistry. All three floors of the Faculty, comprising modern state-of-the-art dental chairs and equipment, are used for undergraduate and postgraduate clinical instruction. Students carry out laboratory work in a well equipped laboratory, each having a dedicated laboratory space.
Students can access a vast amount of information through online resources such as the Medline CD-ROM databases and the Internet from a cluster of modern personal workstations in the Hospital. Dental and medical books, and many major current periodicals are available from the University's Medical Library, which is a stone's throw away from the Hospital.
A modern Dental Centre with 12 fully-equipped operatories, located on the ground floor of the Faculty, provides general and specialist multi-disciplinary dental care for the public and hospital patients.
