About Dentistry
There are many benefits to being a dentist. That's why it is one of the best professions that you can choose - not only in the United States, but in the world. Learn more about being a dentist, and how the University at Buffalo can help prepare you for a successful career in the field.
The ASDA Pre-Dental Committee aspires to bridge the gap between pre-dental education and dental school. The committee is comprised of current dental students with knowledge and experience in different areas such as mentorship, webinars and event coordination. Through these events, they provide educational and informational content about the dental school application process. Participating in the mentorship program, attending virtual webinars, and joining hands-on activities at the dental school gives pre-dental students invaluable exposure to the dental field. The Pre-Dental Committee aims to inform and inspire students about dentistry and encourage them to join our school.
