About the Department

The University of Minnesota School of Dentistry is the state's only dental school and the only dental school in the northern tier of states between Wisconsin and the Pacific Northwest.

We are a regional resource to five states for dental education, consulting services, patient treatment, and ongoing continuing dental education.

We educate dentists, dental specialists, dental therapists, dental hygienists, dental educators, and research-scientists.

We offer advanced degree programs in seven ADA-recognized specialties: endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, and TMD and orofacial pain.

We educate scholars in oral biology, dental hygiene, and oral health for older adults.

Dentists from other countries who wish to practice in the United States matriculate through our Program for Advanced Standing Students.

Learners have the option to pursue a Masters in Public Health or a PhD alongside their DDS degree.

We are the only dental hygiene program in the state associated with a dental school.

We became the first dental school in the nation to educate dental therapists in 2009.

Dental therapists perform basic preventative services, drill and restore teeth for children and adults, and remove primary teeth under the supervision of a licensed dentist.

As of 2023, we have graduated 91 dental therapists from the program.

Our work affects virtually every person in Minnesota.

We educate approximately 73% of the state's practicing dentists, 68% of licensed dental therapists, and 49% of dental hygiene educators.

We provide critical oral health care with more than 100,000 patient visits in our campus clinics and more than 16,000 patient visits at outreach sites in underserved communities throughout the state.

We provide continuing dental education for 7,100 practicing dental professionals each year.

The School of Dentistry is dedicated to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

Diverse teams, perspectives, and backgrounds create a strong and creative team that best serves the University's many communities, on campus and beyond.

The University is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIA+, women, veterans, and members of historically underrepresented communities are highly encouraged to apply.
