The Hunt School of Dental Medicine is the newest dental school in Texas—the first to open in the state in over 50 years. The dental school offers the most innovative curriculum in the country that also focuses heavily on public health and engagement with our border community. A first for any dental school in the nation, students begin interacting with patients within their first semester and participate in required clinical Spanish courses to bridge language and cultural barriers and improve access to high-quality oral health care in the region.
