The University of Lancashire is now offering low-cost complex dental surgery treatment for patients in Lancashire and South Cumbria.
The work would take place at the University’s Dental Clinic on the Preston campus and be completed by qualified dentists who are undertaking postgraduate training.
The procedures, which will only be conducted under local anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation, include surgical removal of buried teeth or roots, surgical root canal treatment and wisdom teeth.

Kate Taylor, professor in oral surgery at the University of Lancashire, said: “We’ve recently seen in the news that people are desperate for dental care and there are more than 4,000 patients in Lancashire who are waiting to be seen in both hospitals and dental practices.
“Our Community Dental Clinic, which is led by specialists and consultants, can accept patients who have been referred for specialist treatment and who are experiencing long delays.
“At our centre of excellence, it’s a win-win as the patients will receive low-cost treatment for complex oral surgery and in return qualified dentists will be able to develop their skills and undertake advanced procedures using top-of-the-range facilities.”
