Peninsula Dental

About

Peninsula Dental in Exeter forms part of a wider Peninsula Dental School network across the South West, with education facilities in Plymouth, Truro and Exeter. The practice’s focus includes treatment and oral health engagement alongside training for the next generation of dental professionals, with students from Plymouth University studying for a career in dentistry and receiving supervision from qualified dentists. For local communities, Peninsula Dental highlights work that includes treating children in collaboration with schools, nurseries and families to support good oral health and hygiene. It also describes emergency appointments for patients who are currently under treatment, alongside clinically necessary care aimed at keeping mouths, teeth and gums healthy and free of pain. The text also notes an interest in research, including a partnership with the University of Birmingham exploring whether dental setting risk assessment for type 2 diabetes could support earlier diagnosis for registered patients aged 40–80. Governance and compliance, dental nursing, hygiene therapy and clinical support roles are described as part of the team supporting student-led care under supervision, while waiting lists are currently closed to new patients as of March 2026.
