Held in the University’s Roland Levinsky Building, the display was geared towards students and the wider community, and underpins the dental school’s focus on community engagement and oral health disease prevention. 

Dental healthcare students undertake community engagement projects as a core part of their undergraduate curriculum, working with their peers to develop a student-led, evidence-based project to address oral health needs.

This public event was the brainchild of third-year dental students, Emily Akister and Nadezhda Anim-Somuah, who wanted to do something in addition to their undergraduate studies to promote oral health education in the community.
