The Ultimate Work Experience in Dentistry
Overview
The Young Dentist Weekend gives students aged 15-18 a chance to test-drive life as a dentist. Learn from top dentists as they guide you through a series of interactive activities: take part in a patient consultation, examine X-rays and carve a tooth. You will also be coached on how to get a place at a top dental school, with expert guidance on how to excel in applications, interviews, the UCAT & BMAT, and more.
You can attend either in-person in London or live online. Register now to gain an edge over other aspiring dentists, and a super-curricular experience to add to your university application.
Top dentists will guide you through engaging, hands-on activities, including:
- Patient Consultation: Take part in a full simulated consultation from start to finish.
- X-ray Examination: Analyse x-rays, discuss diagnoses, and propose treatment plans.
- Tooth Carving: Watch a dentist carve a tooth, then try it yourself using soap.

Covid-19
In the unlikely event that the in-person programme is completely cancelled because of Covid-19 then students will receive a refund. We have never yet had to cancel a London summer experience, having successfully delivered programmes during the summers of 2020 and 2021, with strict social distancing and excellent feedback. We shall of course adhere to all Covid-related government guidelines in place at the time of the programme and keep student safety as the highest priority.
If you pay via credit because you postponed a previous booking then the credit note will be reissued to you in full.
