Members of the Massachusetts Dental Society establish the Boston Dental College to provide strong scientific and medical education for aspiring dentists. Responding to new regulations and higher professional standards, the institution helps raise expectations for professional dental education throughout New England.
Following the recent merger of the Boston Dental College and Tufts College, the newly formed Tufts College School of Dentistry refines and enhances its curriculum as it strives to train the best dentists in the United States. Meanwhile, the program expands its work in community and public health as it builds a rigorous new research program.
The School of Dental Medicine adds five floors to its headquarters at One Kneeland Street and continues extending its outreach and alumni networks to communities around the world. Together, these developments ensure that the program will continue to rank among the most prestigious in the world.
