dental student

Future cavity filler

A dental student is someone enrolled in a program to become a dentist, typically a four-year graduate curriculum following undergraduate education.

The term distinguishes those still in training from licensed practitioners: The clinic is staffed by dental students under faculty supervision.

Like medical students, dental students progress through classroom instruction before supervised clinical work on patients.
