Dentist – Upper Arlington, OH

What level of education is required to be a dentist?

As you may know, becoming a licensed dentist requires years and years of schooling as well as a lifelong commitment to continuing education! That all starts with an undergraduate degree in a major that’s heavy in math and science. Then, the aspiring dentist needs to be accepted to one of 67 accredited dental schools in the U.S. To earn their Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS), they need to complete three years of in-classroom and hands-on training. Each subsequent year, they need to complete continuing education hours and advanced training to maintain their license.
