While Dentistry is small enough to provide students with caring, individualized attention, affiliation with the University and the renowned LLU Medical Center create a world-class institution. The School encourages students to excel in clinical applications, basic sciences, and research. Programs are offered in dentistry, dental hygiene, and international dentistry. Dental hygiene students are prepared to meet any requirement of the varied states' specifications. Numerous mission trips are available to Mexico, Africa, the Far East, South America, Indian reservations, and elsewhere.
Students share their faith while dispensing free dental care.
Our Students Annual enrollment at LLU averages nearly 2,000 students from over 100 countries. The dental student family has over 450 members, including students whose goals include the DDS degree, a BS in dental hygiene, or advanced dental education in eight disciplines. Over one-third of the dentistry students are women. Ethnically, Asian students now compromise about one-third of our student population. Many other minorities are represented by increasing numbers due to the diverse nature of the Church population, the School's location on the Pacific Rim, and the needs of the Southern California area.
