Loc is currently Director of Research at the School of Dentistry, University of Queensland.
Currently, he is the Chief Investigator A of three major NHMRC-funded research projects: a population-based birth cohort study investigating impact of socioeconomic inequality on child oral health, a longitudinal study investigating effect of early life exposure to fluoride, and a study to investigate effectiveness of water fluoridation in Queensland.
Qualifications: BDS, MScDent, PhD
Research Interests: Oral epidemiological measurement of dental diseases Quantitative analysis of oral epidemiological data including multilevel analysis Risk and benefit trade-off in the use of fluorides in children Natural history of dental fluorosis Socio-economic inequality in oral health Oral health-related quality of life Smoking as a risk factor for periodontal diseases Effectiveness and safety of water fluoridation in children Complex systems science in dental research
