    PhD Programs in Dentistry

    Programs in dentistry help students learn about how to prevent, diagnose and treat different conditions in patients. Completing a program in dental sciences can open the door to additional specialized career paths, such as becoming an orthodontist or veterinary dentist.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
