  • Baylor College of Dentistry (BCD), located in east Dallas, Texas, is the dental education unit of the Texas A&M University System, and a component of the Texas A&M Health Science Center. Almost two-thirds of all the dentists in the Metroplex received their education at BCD, and more than one-third of all dentists in Texas are graduates of the college. It is the largest single provider of oral health care services in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area. With an enrollment of approximately 520 and more than 8,000 graduates, the college is internationally recognized for its oral health sciences education, research, specialized patient care, and community service programs. The school provides the Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S. ), Master of Science (M.S. ) and Bachelor of Science (B.S. ) in Dental Hygiene degrees, and graduate training in dental specialties. Baylor College of Dentistry was named one of the top four dental institutions nationwide for periodontology, endodontics, and geriatric dentistry by American Health Magazine. In 1997, through its Center for TeleHealth, BCD became the nation's first dental school to successfully demonstrate the use of telecommunications technology for dental medicine through a long-distance patient consultation between dentists at the BCD campus and 175 dental professionals convened in Orlando, Florida. Each year, the college completes more than 103,500 patient care visits, 45 percent of which benefit low-income individuals. Of the care it provides, the college donates $3.3 million in services to the community. The college produces the nation's only syndicated, weekly dental health news program, Dental Health Check.
