The Bachelor of Dental Therapy at UKZN (Westville) is a three-year HPCSA-accredited degree that trains graduates to provide preventive and primary oral health care services to South African communities. Dental therapists perform fillings, extractions, and oral health education, filling a critical gap in South Africa's under-resourced public dental health system. With oral disease remaining one of the most common chronic conditions in South Africa, dental therapists play a vital role in expanding access to affordable dental care across urban and rural communities.
