The Dental Library is located on the ground floor of the School of Dentistry. Access is through the Frederick Street entrance to the School of Dentistry.

It contains the Dental book collection of some 2000 volumes. Current issues of print journals are displayed in the Dental Library along with some full journals, although the largest part of the journals collection is housed on the second and third floors of the nearby Medical Library.
