- By attending the undergraduate student clinic, the patient accepts that their dental treatment will be carried out by dental students under the supervision of a suitably qualified dentist or dental therapist.
- Student clinics are not covered by national waiting time guarantees and are available Monday to Friday (9am-3.30pm) during University term time only.
- Treatment will take longer to complete than at a high-street dental practice as students work slower than fully qualified dental professionals.
- We cannot guarantee that all treatment will be carried out by the same student or under supervision of the same qualified member of staff.
- Some treatment (e.g. implants and tooth whitening) are not offered on student clinics.
- All emergency dental care should be undertaken by the referring general dental practitioner.
- If patients are unable to attend student clinics when required, then the offer of student treatment at Dundee Dental School may be withdrawn.
- If patients do not turn up to their appointment, then the offer of student treatment will be withdrawn.
- If a patient can no longer attend an appointment, they should contact the dental school to cancel the appointment as soon as they know that you will not be able to attend. This may allow another patient to take their appointment.
- Once the planned course of treatment is complete, the patient will normally be discharged from the dental school clinic. We cannot guarantee ongoing review at the dental school.

If you have a plan to provide treatment in addition to what you have requested in this form, please let us know.
