Vatsalya Dental partners with The University of Western Australia

To collaborate on paediatric dentistry

Vatsalya Dental has partnered with The University of Western Australia. As part of this partnership, students and dentists will be provided with a platform to conduct research, produce white papers, work on innovations and undergo various other exchange programmes.

Oral healthcare among children is a foremost requirement for a healthy growth and wellbeing. In fact, westernised diets and excess sugar consumption have increased dental caries in infants and children, exposing them to multiple other healthcare issues at a very early age.

Vatsalya Dental with this partnership aims to address all these challenges by shifting the focus from treatment to prevention and making paediatric dentistry more research and innovation oriented.

During this programme, dentists from Vatsalya will go to Australia, once in six months, for a period of two to three weeks to collaborate with the faculty and students at the university. Students from the University will also visit Vatsalya Dental on an annual basis to learn and get a first-hand account of paediatric dentistry and understand the usage of international treatment methods and technology. The students will be trained at Vatsalya’s Incubation Centre on various topics of paediatric dentistry and be part of their community building programmes.
