The School of Dentistry welcomed its 134 new clinical learners into the profession at the White Coat Ceremony on Friday, September 6.

Members of the DDS Class of 2028, Dental Therapy Class of 2027 and Dental Hygiene Class of 2026 came together for orientation on August 7 and 8.

Congratulations to the 183 newest alumni of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry!
 

The Division of Dental Therapy celebrated its seven graduating learners with a banquet on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. 

As the Class of 2024 prepares to graduate and begin their careers, students who have taken on leadership roles will be leaving their own legacies behind.
 

Thanks to a grant from the Minnesota Department of Health, two dental therapy students will be supported in their future plans to work in rural Minnesota after graduation.

The School of Dentistry held its 20th annual Give Kids a Smile event on Saturday, February 3. 

This year was filled with growth, learning and discovery at the School of Dentistry, and our news stories reflected that. We shared 101 stories last year, and our news stories were read more than 51,000 times. 

When Janelle Jehn, BSDT ’13, ADT ’16, provided the keynote address for this year’s White Coat Ceremony, it marked a milestone for her and for the program. She became the first dental therapist to provide the address.
