MissionThe mission of the College of Dentistry is to improve oral health and general health through teaching,
research, and service. The mission is supported by collaborative engagement and by networking
with community and academic partners to promote oral health literacy and reduce health disparities
within Kentucky and beyond.
The College educates health professionals to become active citizen leaders who are conscious of their
personal and professional responsibilities in a global society. The College values diversity within its
community, which includes diversity of thought and experience, in order to promote a humanistic
approach to education, patient care, and community service.

CurriculumThe College of Dentistry’s program integrates basic science, preclinical
lab, technique, clinical and related courses throughout the curriculum.
Basic science courses begin at enrollment. Clinical course time and patient
contact start early in the first year and expand as the basic science and
preclinical curriculum decreases. The dental curriculum has four primary
areas of study: basic sciences, behavioral sciences, preclinical dentistry and
clinical dentistry. The basic sciences, such as anatomy, biochemistry and
pharmacology, as well as the didactic portion of the preclinical courses,
are taught mainly by lecture, seminar, some self-instruction, or any combination
of these teaching methods. The technical skills of the preclinical
subjects, such as restorations, denture construction and periodontal
therapy are taught in laboratory and clinical settings.
