A dental school ( dental school , dental school , dental college ) is a higher education institution - - or part of such an institution - that teaches dentistry to a dentist candidate. Upon successful completion, graduates receive degrees in Dentistry, Dental Surgery, or Dentistry, which, depending on the jurisdiction, may be a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, a professional degree, or a doctorate. Schools can also offer postgraduate training in general dentistry, and/or endodontic training, oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral pathology, oral and maxillofacial, orthodontic, pedodontic, periodontic, prosthodontic, or dental hygiene.

In the EU, dental assistants, dental professionals, dental nurses, dental technicians, dental therapists, or other dental additional members are trained in applied science universities or polytechnics.

Sometimes dental education is done in medical schools, such as in Pakistan; the separation between medical and dental education is also blurred in certain sub-specialties, such as oral and maxillary surgery.
