New York University College of Dentistry

The founding of the New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD) in 1865 marked the first successful attempt to establish a dental school in New York State. Throughout its history, NYUCD has continued to be a school of “firsts.” Examples include pioneering the use of the X-ray, establishing the first formal departments of endodontics, pediatric dentistry, and implant dentistry, and the first family practice program at a U.S. dental school, the first Oral Cancer Consortium in the U.S, the first completely digitalized dental school curriculum, the first dental school to mandate terrorism preparedness training for dental students, and the first to form an alliance with a College of Nursing in order to expand access to general health care for needy populations.
