Tufts University School of Dental Medicine offers one of the most forward-looking educational environments in dental medicine in the country. Since its founding in 1868, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine has been committed to excellence in education, research, patient care, and community service.

At Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, research and teaching are complementary, producing professionals who possess the analytical capacity and the spirit of inquiry to deal with an ever-increasing knowledge base and rapid technological changes.

By treating patients in the school's teaching clinics and through a variety of externships at hospitals and government sponsered dental clinics around the country, Tufts dental students understand not just how to apply science to practice, but how to employ compassion in the treatment of human illness.
