Oral Health: Clinical and Emergency Cases

This course provides applied practice through 10 case studies that simulate urgent, non-urgent, and emergency dental presentations. It is intended for Rural Generalists who already have a working knowledge of oral health, including trauma management and the use of local anaesthetics, and want to consolidate their learning through real-world clinical scenarios. Learners who are confident with the basics will find this course a practical way to test their decision-making and build confidence.
