PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY
WHY IS PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY IMPORTANT AND WHEN SHOULD
YOU START?
Preventive Dentistry means a healthy smile that requires fewer visits to the Dentist:
- Eating becomes more enjoyable because healthy mouths chew more easily
and gain more nutrients from the foods they eat. - You can also speak more quickly and clearly.
- People with healthier mouths have a better chance of general health, because disease in the mouth can endanger the rest of the body.
- A healthy mouth is more attractive, and you can have confidence that you are putting forth your best appearance.
- Preventive Dentistry is the first step to becoming cavity-free.
Preventive dentistry begins Regular Tooth brushing.
The earlier your dental visit, the better the chance of preventing dental disease and reducing your time in the Dentist’s Chair
Visit your dentist for a complete examination to lay the foundations for having the best in dental health.

OPTIONS FOR DENTAL CARE
GENERAL DENTISTRY
Predoctoral Student Clinic
This is the primary clinic in the School of Dentistry, educating students while providing professional-quality care for our patients. Patients are treated by students in our four-year dental education program, under the supervision of local practicing dentists. While this process provides excellent care for patients, it also leads to longer appointments due to the instructional process. As a result, care is also offered at a lower fee, usually ranging from one half, to two thirds of typical fees from private practice.
For more information on receiving care from our student clinic, please see our Admitting process here.
Faculty Dental Practice
Faculty Dental Practice is staffed by dentists and dental hygienists who are faculty members at the School of Dentistry. This clinic offers comprehensive general, preventive, and specialty dental service on-site at the OHSU campus. Our Dentists provide state-of-the-art care thanks to their extensive experience in both professional and educational dental fields. Care options, appointment times, and fees are comparable to private practice.

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
The Pediatric Dentistry Clinic at OHSU provides dental care for children between the ages of four and twelve. Care is provided by dental students with the supervision of dentists and residents experienced in pediatric dental care.
Children must be cooperative and not have any major medical conditions in order to receive student care. Children with more complicated treatment or behavioral needs may be seen in the graduate clinic by dentists who are training to be specialists in pediatric dentistry. If you don't know how your child will accept treatment, make an appointment and we will determine if care is feasible. Children who come to our clinic and cannot be treated by one of our students will either be referred to a pediatric resident, dentist on the faculty, or one in the community. Children who require care from other specialties (e.g. orthodontics, oral surgery) will also be referred.
Children accepted for care will be assigned to one dental student. The student will contact you to arrange an appointment for your child during one of the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic sessions. Appointments will generally last one and a half to three hours. Faculty instructors supervise all treatments provided by the students.
If you wish to register your child for treatment at the Pediatric Dental Clinic, please call our Patient Reception Center at 503-494-8867
