Lecturer nameProfessor Helen Rodd BDS(Hons), FDS(Paed), Phd
Lecturer profileI qualified with Honours from Bristol University, UK, in 1988. Moving North to Sheffield, I completed my higher training in Paediatric Dentistry and was awarded Clinical Research Fellowships from both the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Medical Research Council. I was appointed professor/honorary consultant in Paediatric Dentistry at Sheffield Dental School in 2006.

My current research is within child-centred oral health research with particular emphasis on the impact of dental or facial differences on children´s psychosocial status. I work in a fantastic multi-disciplinary research team which aims to improve the oral health and treatment experiences of children and young people through a combination of clinical and social scientific research strategies

Outside work, I enjoy cycling around the world, having many adventures on my tandem!
