Dentists diagnose and treat problems with a patient’s teeth, gums, and parts of the mouth. They provide advice and instruction on taking care of teeth and gums and on diet choices that affect oral health. Studying dentistry is great training for careers in general practice, orthodontics, periodontics, oral or maxillofacial surgery, and oral pathology. Majoring in Pre-Dentistry at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will prepare you for higher education in the field.

“I can honestly say that UNK provided me with exactly what I was looking for. The majority of my classes were in that 25-to 30-student range and most of my instructors knew me by name, which made my educational experience a very personable one. The class size and student-to-faculty ratio was a big deciding factor for me because I did not want to get lost in the shuffle.”
