The LSUHSC School of
Dentistry has three
separate clinical
programs, dental student,
advanced education, and
faculty dental practice,
that offer a full range of
dental services and
procedures. In addition to
routine dental procedures,
patients have access to
specialists in
endodontics, oral
pathology, orthodontics,
oral surgery,
periodontics, pediatric
dentistry, and
prosthodontics.
Patient
Centered Care:
It is the policy of the School to provide care in a patient-centered manner. Patient-centered care is defined as ensuring the patient is a key member of the care delivery process. The School will take into account the individual patient's needs, preferences, values and goals, and this will guide the treatment planning process. At no time will the best interest of the patient be compromised in order to provide a necessary experience for a student. The supervising faculty is responsible to ensure that the patient has had their options explained to them. The School will not perform any service requested by a patient which would not meet the profession's standard of care.
