Previously we ran side-by-side comparisons of dental school and medical school cost of attendance. You may or may not be surprised to learn that dental graduates owe on average $80K more than their medical counterparts. Curiously, both spend 4 years in training not including residency.

Something I learned, however, was that dental school costs significantly more than medical school. Let’s run the numbers and see how big the difference really is.
