We collaborate Dental phobia is the world’s most common phobia, affecting approx. 10% of the population worldwide. Health psychologists collaborating with King’s academics, clinicians and patients have developed a model using cognitive behavioural therapy to enable phobic and anxious patients to access dental care. The CBT service is now available at many NHS facilities across the UK.
We serve We’re committed to service in society. Tooth disease is a huge hidden burden – not life threatening but still the most common disease in the world. Working with the Alliance for a Cavity Free Future and ICDAS Foundation charities we’re finding ways to make sure every child born after 2026 stays cavity free for life.
We partner We have led the setting up of the Erosive Tooth Wear Foundation, a new charity in which 4 International Universities are working together with 3 multi-national oral health companies in a unique forum which allows academia and industry to work together for public benefit.
