List of Dentist Schools in the United States and Canada

The schools on this list of dentist schools are known to develop socially conscious, civic-minded dental professionals who work with community leaders and other health professionals to promote oral health care. Dentistry has a distinguished history of leadership in improving world health. In addition to educating patients and the general public on oral health and disease prevention, dentists have taken on leadership roles in implementing such community-based preventive programs as water fluoridation, sealant and oral cancer screening programs.

Practically every school on this list of dentist schools uses the Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS). This organization serves as an information-clearing house, helping to centralize the application process for both applicants and schools through the use of a single application form. While the AADSAS acts as a central hub, any questions which you may have regarding a dental school's admission criteria and/or the application process should be directed to that particular school.
 

Quality of Education The overall quality of education provided by accredited dental schools is high. While there are publications which provide dental school ranking information, this information can be misleading and is therefore, unreliable. One of the best measurements of a schools academic performance is through its accreditation status. Accreditation information is provided in this list, as well as the dental school’s mailing and website address.

The decision where to apply to a dental school is a very personal decision. That decision depends on many factors; career goals, personal interests, family circumstances and financial considerations. For this reason, use diligence when evaluating a dental program. Seek the advice of health care professionals and career advisers. While the goal is to be accepted into dental school, the objective is to get into a program that compliments your goals, your abilities, and expectations. This involves research, interviews, and submitting all required materials such as transcripts and references, as well as the "dreaded" essay.

While completing your dental school application, it is important to research all areas of funding to help pay for the costs of your education. As part of the application packet, most schools include a Federal Student Financial Aid (FSFA) application - a financial aid need based program administered by the federal government. You can learn more about the FSFA program here. In addition to the FAFSA program, other areas to investigate for funding include:

• Scholarship Information


• Grant Information


• Educational Loans


• Credit Card Information
