About the College of Dentistry

Established in 1972, the UF College of Dentistry is one of three dental schools in Florida and is a national leader in dental education, research, patient care and service.

Our students, residents and faculty participate in interdisciplinary learning and research that benefits the college and community, and also results in a well-rounded curriculum that produces dentists skillful in the art and science of dentistry.

Through the UF Statewide Network for Community Oral Health, the college improves access to dental care for Florida’s residents, treating patients from all 67 counties in Florida each year, many of whom face challenges with access to oral health care. Students, residents, faculty and staff volunteer at events throughout the year to provide free care for patients in the communities we serve.
