CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY
Dentistry is a popular and necessary career in the US. It's not a secret more Americans are suffering from obesity, and it's a given that the more you put into your mouth the more prone you are to developing cavities and tooth decay. America needs dentists more than ever.
Here is a list of pre-dentistry schools in the US:
- Loma Linda University
In 1953, the School of Dentistry in Loma Linda University was formed to inspire and teach dental care to students from all over the world. It aims to bring focus down to the individual patient, and teaches its students to follow in its footsteps. Now the School of Dentistry offers doctor of dental surgery degrees as well as bachelor of science degrees and education programs in implant dentistry, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, orthodontics, prosthodontics, maxillofacial and oral surgery, endodontics and anethesia. You'll be fully equipped by the time you leave the university for a career in dentistry.
- Shippensburg University
Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania is one of the most highly competent pre-dentistry schools in the United States. In 2000, Temple University agreed to grant automatic interviews to all graduating pre-dentistry students from Shippensburg, and over the last decade all students who took tests for other dental programs passed. Pre-dentistry advisors in Shippensburg also maintain close bonds with regional dental schools so students learn only accurate and comprehensive information.
- Weber State University
The Pre-Dentistry School in Weber State University is a great place to begin a career in dentistry.

Pre-dentistry course subjects include Organic and Generic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology and Psychology. There are no application deadlines.
