The History of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry reaches back to 1888, when a class of 22 students started their dental education. The School of Dentistry now trains about 73 percent of Minnesota's dentists and a majority of those in neighboring states.
Twenty-two students and four faculty members composed the University of Minnesota College of Dentistry when it began in 1888 as a division of the Department of Medicine. The college became the School of Dentistry in 1932.
By the 1938-39 academic year, the original three-year program of study had been lengthened to four years, preceded by two years of prescribed undergraduate courses. In 1976, the prerequisites were changed to include three years of undergraduate coursework.

I am so grateful for the U of MN school of dentistry and the outstanding care I have received over the past 2 years as one of their dental patients. I have had a mix of good and bad dental experiences with other providers over the years, and it lead me to have quite a bit of hesitation to schedule dental work. I feel like the talented and welcoming student dentists, along with their experienced instructors, have not only done an outstanding job of helping me meet my dental goals, they have "cured" my of my "Dentist Anxiety". I highly recommend trying out the school of dentistry. It is high quality care, in a warm and relaxing environment, at a fraction of the cost of other dental providers. I would like to especially thank Colton for his attention to detail, for always being willing to answer my questions, and his patient centered approach during appointments.

If you dare to take the time for excellent care and thorough examinations, go to the U of M Dental School! (Bring your reading material. The exams (totally worth it- learn to be patient again) take a while. Excellent dental care!

I've been going to the University dental clinic since 1995 and have always been impressed by the superior quality of care I receive. This school maintains the reputation it has earned as the best dental school in the world. I'd recommend them to anyone with teeth.
