There have been no changes to the Dublin Dental Hospital's patient acceptance procedures for student clinics. Patients can self-refer to such clinics and are assessed by a senior clinician for suitability for treatment by a student. Student waiting lists are temporarily closed from time to time if the clinics have sufficient patient numbers to meet the needs of students. All lists are currently open.
