What level of education is required to be a dentist?

Have you ever wondered what the road to becoming a dentist looks like? Although it’s slightly different for everyone, there are some milestones the aspiring dentist needs to complete across the board. First, they must obtain their undergraduate degree and apply to one of 67 accredited dental schools in the U.S. Once they are accepted, they begin three years of rigorous in-classroom and hands-on training. Even after they earn their Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS), they need to complete continuing education hours annually to maintain their license.
