Our Facilities:

Hands-on Experience: Students will gain practical, hands-on experience by actively participating in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric dental cases. This real-world experience will better prepare them for their future careers.
Mentorship: Under the guidance of Dr. Omer Ali and our experienced faculty, students will receive mentorship and guidance, ensuring they develop the necessary skills and empathy required to work effectively with young patients.

This fosters a sense of social responsibility and strengthens ties between the college and the community it serves.

Benefits for Community Children:

Early Intervention: The department emphasizes preventive care and early intervention to address dental issues in their infancy, reducing the need for more extensive treatments later on. This benefits children’s overall health and well-being.
