Associate Professor Susan Moffat

Research

Susan Moffat's principal research interests are in the fields of dental public health, dental therapy history, and dental therapy / oral health therapy education and workforce. Dental therapy is an academic discipline which has not (until recently) had a research tradition of its own, having relied traditionally on work undertaken in the disciplines of paediatric dentistry and dental public health. In that respect, Susan has been one of the pioneers in dental therapy research, and her work has laid some of the groundwork for an ongoing research foundation for both the dental therapy and oral health therapy disciplines.
