Horace Hayden and Chapin Harris. Both men led the effort to establish formal dental education in the United States. Founded in 1840 as the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, the School of Dentistry was the first institution to offer a course in dental education, creating a prototype for dental schools throughout the world. During the past 170 years, the School of Dentistry has maintained its position of leadership in outstanding dental education and oral health care. The School offers the following innovative professional and graduate programs: bachelor of science and master of science degrees in dental hygiene; doctor of dental surgery degree; advanced specialty education in seven disciplines, including oral-maxillofacial surgery; advanced general dentistry programs; and professional development courses. In 2006, the School moved into a new, state-of-the-art, digital facility, making it the first school of dentistry in the United States equipped with this level of modern, innovative technology. Recently the School opened a premier facility in Perryville, Md., to address the needs of underserved populations and to produce the next generation of oral health care professionals.
