Oral And Dental Health

I am Doctor Ayşe Merve Türker. I am working as the Head of Oral and Dental Health Program at the University of Health Sciences, Hamidiye Health Services Vocational School. Oral and dental health technicians, commonly known as "dental assistants", are healthcare professionals who assist dentists during dental treatments in the clinic and are responsible for ensuring continuity in the sterilization and disinfection of dental clinics. Our Oral and Dental Health Program was established to train qualified health personnel who can work in this sector. Our program is a 2-year program and is located in Hamidiye Health Services Vocational School, Hamidiye Complex. In our program, in addition to basic health courses such as Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, theoretical and practical trainings are also provided for courses such as Restorative Dentistry, 4-handed Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry, Maxillofacial Surgery. In our program, our practice courses take place in the dental polyclinics of the public institutions we have contracted with. There is a summer internship application in our program curriculum. Our students can do their internship in public institutions that we have contracted with in Istanbul or in private clinics that they have arranged. Our graduates have great employment rates in private dental clinics. In addition, they can find a job in public institutions by taking the KPSS (Public Personnel Selection Examination). The need for individuals and health personnel who have sufficient knowledge on sterilization and disinfection is increasing. Therefore, the need for students who graduated from the Oral and Dental Health Program in private oral and dental health clinics is increasing day by day. Therefore, many students are taking this path. Hamidiye Vocational School of Health Services works in cooperation with the Faculty of Dentistry within our university. In our faculty, we provide training with our expert teaching staff. For this reason, we recommend that you choose our vocational school. Students who choose the Oral and Dental Health Program should be disciplined, patient and loving individuals. In addition, people with strong empathy and observational skills will take the lead in this profession. I wish success to our students who will take the exam, we will be happy to see you among us.
