When the Medical Campus was inaugurated in April 1982, Faculty of Dentistry was the first of the three faculties that were moved to the new campus.
It is located between Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Pharmacy.
The faculty building consists of 6 floors, which were built according to the latest scientific standards, in addition to 11 scientific departments.
Moreover, since it was built, the faculty has worked to promote the level of dentistry as a profession. Faculty has not only focused on educating and graduating highly qualified dentists, but has also established postgraduate programs across a wide range of dental specialties, providing opportunities for advanced academic and professional development. Through the dedicated efforts of its academic staff and assistant staff, the faculty plays an active and impactful role in serving the community.
Every day, it receives massive numbers of patients to be examined and treated for free at different departments, which promotes the health level and reliefs patients' suffering.
In addition, the activity of the faculty is not restricted to services presented to patients within the departments only, but it also performs medical surveys on the surrounding villages at the Governorate.
The faculty organizes medical convoys all over the Republic including remote areas to recognize prevalent oral and dental diseases in these areas and to treat patients through mobile clinics equipped with the latest dental units in the Middle East that the faculty obtained as a gift from the United States Agency for International Development "USAID".
Furthermore, oral and maxillofacial surgery, economic treatment, and laser treatment clinics were inaugurated according to the latest scientific standards. A special unit to serve persons with special needs was established later.
