ABOUT OUR LEGACY - OUR FUTURE

A strong dental education system is vital to the future of the dental profession and the future of the public's oral health. Dental education is the foundation from which all dentistry is built and sustained. The knowledge, science, critical-thinking skills and ethical principles needed to become a dentist are first developed in dental school.

Dental Education: Our Legacy - Our Future is a collaborative effort by various partner organizations to raise awareness of the challenges facing dental education in the U.S. and to promote a culture of philanthropy within dentistry to address these issues.
