Dentistry

Dentistry, also known as dental medicine and oral medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity, commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa, and of adjacent and related structures and tissues, particularly in the maxillofacial (jaw and facial) area. Although primarily associated with teeth among the general public, the field of dentistry or dental medicine is not limited to teeth but includes other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temporomandibular joint and other supporting, muscular, lymphatic, nervous, vascular, and anatomical structures.

The department of Dentistry at Sacred Heart Hospital offers first class dental and oral health care services for children and adults with leading specialists. In addition to emergency dental care, we provide treatment for a diverse range of oral health issues, both routine and specialist.
Our services offered covers the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of all conditions affecting the mouth and associated structures, including the facial bones and jaws, to the correction of facial deformities and treatment of facial fractures as well as repair of damaged oral tissues and teeth.
