Treating children and teens involves more than cutting-edge dental care. It also involves easing fears and helping those with special needs or complex medical conditions. The Department of Pediatric Dentistry at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry teaches dental students and residents all of this and more. With guidance from experienced faculty, trainees provide our communities with low-cost, high-quality services, including diagnostic, restorative, and preventive dental health procedures. Patients receive exceptional care, and students receive invaluable experiences to enrich their classroom learning.
Your generosity will help ensure children have the knowledgeable dental leaders they need for generations to come.
Our Top Priorities
Opportunities for progress come in many forms and often arise quickly. Our Chair Fund allows department leadership to help in all areas of need, from advancing leading-edge oral health research to ensuring our students have the resources they need to succeed and to other opportunities that advance each department’s mission at a moment’s notice.
With nearly 60 million people across the United States living in underserved areas, our communities need dental professionals more than ever. Your gift today toward the Advanced Education Fund will create opportunities for our students to develop into the experts who will fill this gap and advance the field of oral health care. By supporting these students, you are supporting a healthier future for our friends and families.
Everyone deserves quality oral health care no matter their age, status, or location – and this is why research is so important. Innovation and discovery keep us on the frontlines of the dental profession and provide new ways of serving our communities. When you make a gift to the Research Fund, you support groundbreaking work that will bring new smiles to our friends, families, and neighbors.
