Back when I was applying to dental school, there were only fifty-something dental schools across the nation. Today, there are currently 66 dental schools in the US with a few more set to open their doors the next couple of years. And yes, I’m still in my 20s. While a number of these schools were strategically founded to address unmet dental needs in large swaths of the country, many believe that more can be done on this front than simply increasing the number of graduating dentists every year (future post!). The fact of the matter is, more dental schools are opening every year, and that’s not necessarily a good thing. Just ask the dentists in Utah.
