此外，牙醫是一種需要與人高度互動的職業，除專業知識與靈活技巧外，牙醫需要具備高情商和同理心。因此，正面開朗的個性、不怕生、喜歡與人交往，均是成為牙醫的條件。
牙科不是可以單獨完成的工作，更需要團隊合作照顧病人，例如訂做牙套、植牙、換齒後學習說話等。整個團隊包括牙醫助理、牙科衛生學家（dental hygienists）、牙科技術員（dental technicians）、牙科治療師（dental therapists）等。

The Human Body and The Oral Cavity in Health and Disease
These themes introduce you to the structure and function of the human body and of a healthy mouth. You will learn about the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the nervous and renal systems. You will be introduced to some of the common diseases affecting the head, neck, teeth and mouth. You will also visit dental clinics and start to learn about your role as a healthcare professional in the dental team.
Core modules:The Human Body
The Oral Cavity in Health and Disease
Growth, Development, Ageing and Nutrition and Basic Oral and Dental Care
Year two introduces the basic biological principles governing different stages during life with emphasis on the challenges of providing comprehensive care for both young and elderly patients.
You’ll also learn more about diseases of the teeth and mouth and undertake basic dental procedures in our Simulation Suite, using virtual reality machines, and in our Clinical Skills Learning Environment. Following satisfactory completion of these courses, you begin to treat patients.
Intermediate Oral and Dental Care and Integrated Human Disease
From the third year you gain the skills and knowledge to treat patients holistically, with great attention to detail. In the Integrated Human Disease theme you learn how to identify clinical signs and symptoms of systemic disease and how this affects the clinical practice of dentistry. You will also learn how to undertake clinical procedures requiring high levels of manual dexterity.
Core modules:
Integrated Clinical Practice, Oral Disease, Outreach and Elective
During the final two years you will learn how to treat patients of all ages with increasingly complex care needs. You’ll learn more about oral diseases, their causes, how they develop and how to recognise, diagnose and prevent them.
You will take part in clinical placements as part of our outreach programme in Sheffield or the surrounding region. These placements are in primary care practices so they provide you with real work environments to sharpen your skills. You’ll also have the opportunity to undertake an elective placement which could take you anywhere in the world.

To practise as a dentist in Australia you must complete an accredited university degree in dentistry, be registered with the Dental Board of Australia and meet the standards for re-registration every year.
Register with the Dental Board of Australia
Once you have graduated with a degree in dentistry, it’s a legal requirement to register with the Dental Board of Australia before you can practise.
Information on student registration and information for graduates registering with the Board for the first time can be found on the AHPRA Dental Board website.
