The School of Dentistry - Patient Information . Welcome to the School of Dentistry at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The primary goal of the school is to educate family dentists for the state of Mississippi.
All patient care is provided under the direct supervision of licensed faculty dentists.
An important component of the School of Dentistry's legislated educational mission is the provision of oral health care. This occurs in a number of locations within the school and institution-affiliated clinics. The majority of dental care in our educational program occurs in the predoctoral clinics under the Student Patient Care Program . The Acute Care Clinic provides emergency dental care on a 24-hour, daily basis for registered patients of the school. This service is provided with faculty supervision by advanced general dentistry residents and predoctoral students.
