Exposing Diverse Students to Oral Health Professions [pdf 2mb]
Dental Tool Kit

The Office of Minority and Multicultural Health is pleased to provide Career Exploration: Exposing Diverse Students to Oral Health Professions, a tool kit designed to help anyone who works with students to encourage them to pursue careers in oral health. With this tool kit, we hope to specifically inspire underrepresented minority students who may not have role models in dentistry who resemble themselves to realize that they too can become dentists, dental hygienists or dental assistants.

The purpose of this tool kit resource is to attract qualified high school students into learning more about careers in the oral health profession. This tool kit contains information that will help you arrange to have an oral health professional visit your school, provide facts about oral health careers, and outline various resources you can discuss with your students and their parents to get them on the path to dentistry.
