Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner helped kick off the School of Dentistry's second annual Diversity and Inclusion Week when he spoke in the Cooley Center on the first of six days of activities and events designed to promote understanding and cultural insight at the school.
The University of Texas Board of Regents has approved $11.3 million for demolition of the building that was home to UT Dental Branch (now known as UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry) from 1954 to 2012.
Our dental school has served Southeast Texas since 1905, providing a broad range of services, from fillings to reconstructive surgery. Patients are cared for by students and residents under faculty supervision.
Each year, we enroll 100 DDS and 40 dental hygiene students. UTSD students gain clinical skills at on-site clinics, hospitals, and through community outreach projects. Advanced and continuing education programs are offered as well.
UTSD excels in several areas of research, including the biomedical and clinical sciences, education, dental informatics, and much more. Our research programs benefit from state-of-the-art equipment and world-renowned faculty.
