What level of education is required to be a dentist?
Becoming a dentist begins by earning a bachelor’s degree (which is often in a major that focuses heavily on math and science). After graduation, they must be accepted to one of 67 accredited dental schools in the U.S. At this point, they will undergo three years of both classroom and hands-on training, which will give them the keen eye and experience needed to treat patients.
Even after earning their Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS), the dentist’s studies are far from over. To maintain their license, they must pursue numerous continuing education hours (although the exact number is determined by the state).

How much does a dental checkup & cleaning cost in Mesquite?
