Founded in 1966, the LSUHSC
School of Dentistry is the only dental
school in Louisiana and has educated
more than 75% of the dental
professionals practicing statewide.
Since its inception, LSUSD has
educated 2,148 dentists, 1030 dental
hygienists and 294 dental laboratory
technologists.
LSUSD offers degrees in dentistry,
dental hygiene and dental laboratory
technology as well as advanced
education certification in seven
dental specialties. The school also
offers a combined certificate in oral
& maxillofacial surgery with a doctor
of medicine degree, as well as a
Master of Science degree in oral
biology. Two satellite dental hygiene
education programs are also offered
in Baton Rouge and Lafayette to
address the profession’s shortage.
LSUSD offers care at 17 clinic
locations statewide, including five
serving the Greater New Orleans area
alone, many of which are
underserved areas. The school’s three
main satellite locations are in Baton
Rouge, Lafayette and Alexandria.
The LSUSD Center of Excellence in Oral & Craniofacial Biology,
the only collaborative research initiative in Louisiana to focus
on oral health, creates a rich research environment for the education
and development of students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty
researchers in dental and craniofacial biology.
•With funding through the Health Resources and Service Administration
(HRSA), LSUSD provides oral health care to patients
with HIV in both south and central Louisiana.
• A primary provider of continuing education for dental professionals
in Louisiana, LSUSD offered 731 continuing education
hours in 2007.
• The school also sponsors and participates in numerous community
dental education programs, including Children's Dental
Health Month, Louisiana Special Olympics and visits to area schools to
educate children about proper oral health care.
• LSUSD serves as the primary provider of forensic dental services to
police and emergency personnel in Louisiana and Mississippi.
