The
Faculty of Dentistry had its early beginnings in 1929 as the first
Dental School in the Far East set up by British Government. Since
its inception it has undergone many changes first as a dental
department within the King Edward VII College of Medicine
and later to obtain full Faculty status in 1966. The school has
produced hundreds of well trained and competent graduates providing
essential dental services to the people in this part of the world
and beyond. Many of the school alumni are residing in major cities
of the world. Currently located at the National University Hospital
campus at Kent Ridge, it has the latest modern facilities to train
dental surgeons for the future. The faculty is rightly committed
to the development of scientifically orientated, technically capable
and socially sensitive dental practitioners.
