Students seeking a career in dentistry should enter the pre-dental program. Dentists are central to maintaining oral health, which is important to overall health and well-being. They diagnose and treat oral diseases and conditions, provide preventive care such as cleanings and fluoride treatments, and educate patients on oral hygiene practices.

Carthage has numerous faculty/staff members to support your journey to dental school. Make sure you are working closely with your assigned faculty advisor to address any questions relating to your major or minor requirements. For questions regarding dental school requirements and preparation, please contact a pre-health coordinator.
