A programme of clinical attachment in community dentistry for final year dental students in Northern Ireland.
The activities of the Community Dental Service still remain something of a mystery to many dental practitioners and recent developments broadening the remit of the community service are not universally known. There have been some schemes to introduce dental students to the care of patients by the CDS, but its role continues to develop with responsibilities which take community dental officers into a wide variety of settings in the community in order to reach priority groups such as the elderly and disabled.
