DDS

The School of Dentistry celebrated incoming learners with their White Coat Ceremony on Friday, September 18.

Isaac Armstrong, DDS '28, didn't have a traditional pre-dental job--but fighting wildfires taught him lessons that prepared him well to serve patients in the clinic.

These students include the DDS Class of 2030, the Dental Therapy Class of 2029, the Dental Hygiene Class of 2028 and learners in advanced education programs, residencies and graduate programs.

The School of Dentistry welcomed the DDS Class of 2030, Dental Therapy Class of 2029 and Dental Hygiene Class of 2028 to campus for orientation on August 12-13. 

The University’s Office of Academic Clinical Affairs recently named outreach site Family HealthCare as a 2025 Clinical Training Site of Excellence.

Three School of Dentistry students received the University of Minnesota’s President’s Student Leadership and Service Award (PSLSA) in 2026.

Two DDS students are part of a six-month cohort aimed at fostering leadership, social responsibility and change for the future.

A course for University of Minnesota Medical School students is providing opportunities for collaboration and interprofessional education with School of Dentistry faculty and students.

Graduates and their loved ones gathered alongside faculty and staff for the school’s 137th Commencement Ceremony, held in Northrop Auditorium.

The School of Dentistry honored the DDS Class of 2026 with an awards ceremony on Thursday, May 7.
