       4 FASCINATING FACTS ABOUT DENTAL SCHOOL

       Most people outside of the profession can't say they know much
       about dental education. Of course dentists learn about teeth and
       the mouth, but what about the rest of the body? How long is
       dental school? Is there a difference between a D.D.S. and a
       D.M.D. degree? We compiled a short list of lesser known facts
       about dental school to separate some of the truths from the
       rumors! Take a look:
       1. Most schools require dental students to dissect a human body
       from the head and neck to the torso. Some require a whole-body
       dissection. This includes structures such as the arms, GI tract
       and heart.
       2. Some schools hold courses and seminars on dental research.
       These are classes specifically geared towards evaluating
       research papers for clinical application.
       3. The average dental student doesn't get to work on an actual
       patient until they have completed two years of didactic
       education. Only then are they allowed clinical responsibility.
       4. Dental residencies can take from 1-6 years in addition to the
       four years of dental school. The longest (6 years) is for a
       joint DDS/MD degree in oral and maxillofacial surgery. That
       rounds up to 14 years of college education!
