Organisation

School of Dental Sciences, Newcastle University

The Oral Health Economics team at Newcastle University looks at how to make dental care work better for everyone. We use tools from social sciences and health economics to understand important questions, like how NHS money for dentistry should be spent, which services give the best value, what the public most values in oral health, and how to make dental care easier to access. Our aim is to support patients, dental professionals and policy makers to improve oral health for all.
