Oral Microbiology

Oral Microbiology is a small but highly specialist branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis and management of infections affecting the mouth, face and neck regions . It combines clinical understanding with laboratory science, infection prevention and control, and antimicrobial stewardship. For dentists with an interest in oral infection, multidisciplinary working and the scientific basis of patient care, Oral Microbiology offers a distinctive and rewarding career path. In Wales, specialty training forms part of a high-quality postgraduate training environment designed to support trainees as they develop the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours needed for specialist practice.
