Our Mission & History

The History of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry reaches back to 1888, when a class of 22 students started their dental education. The School of Dentistry now trains about 73 percent of Minnesota's dentists and a majority of those in neighboring states.Twenty-two students and four faculty members composed the University of Minnesota College of Dentistry when it began in 1888 as a division of the Department of Medicine. The college became the School of Dentistry in 1932.Early students used a dental handpiece driven by a foot pedal and made some of their own laboratory and clinical instruments in class.
