Standing at the forefront of educating and preparing our students to excel as dental professionals.
At the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, the Department of Developmental Sciences prepares students to make a lasting difference in the lives of patients from childhood through adulthood. Through the Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics divisions, students explore the science of growth and development while gaining the clinical knowledge and compassionate perspective needed to care for children, adolescents, and individuals with special health care needs. Through excellence in patient care, student education, research, mentorship, and service, we are committed to preparing future dental professionals who will make a lasting difference in the lives of their patients and communities.
