Dentist licence (DDS/DMD)
The most expensive credential on this site — a quarter of a million dollars in federal loans at the median — leading to one of the best-paid occupations in the country.

The highest figures on this site, and still only the borrowed part. That range is median cumulative FEDERAL LOAN DEBT at completion, not a tuition sticker price and not total cost. It is what completers actually borrowed, so it excludes grants, savings, family money, employer funding and living costs — which makes it a FLOOR on what the credential costs, never a ceiling. The low and high figures are the 25th and 75th percentiles across the institutions that report a figure for this programme, so a quarter of institutions sit below the low end. College Scorecard pools two award years into each figure; the release used here is dated 10 June 2026.
Four years of dental school after a bachelor's degree, then a state or regional clinical licensing examination. Specialising adds two to six years of residency on top.
Licences renew every one to two years by state with continuing education requirements.

Buny näçe adam saklaýar
202,485 professionally active dentists in the United States — 2024, the last year in the ADA series, published 2025.
Biz buny göterime öwürmeýäris. We hold a sound count of dentists and a sound count of employed dentists and we are not dividing one into the other, because federal employment data counts employees and most dentists are self-employed practice owners. The ratio would read as though a third of dentists were not working in dentistry, and what it would actually measure is how many of them own the practice rather than being paid by one. Iki sany öz-özünden dogry we iki sany hem üsti hem asty çap edilýär. Olary bölmek "arassa meýdanda işleýän eýeleriň paýy" ýaly bir san çykarar we bir däl, şonuň üçin biz iki sanyny çap edip olary dursun diýip goýýarys.
Bu hasap nädip barlanar: People, from the ADA's masterfile, and already filtered to those whose primary occupation is dentistry — private practice, dental school faculty, armed forces and federal services, state and local government, hospital staff, residents and interns. It EXCLUDES retired dentists, dentists not in practice or waiting for boards, and anyone whose main job is something else. That filtering makes it a different kind of count from most on this site: it is closer to a workforce than to a registry, which is exactly why we do not divide employment into it.
The ADA count is also filtered differently from most credential registries on this site: it already excludes retired dentists and those not in practice, so it is closer to a workforce count than to a register of everyone who ever qualified. Two counts that are each right, measuring populations that do not line up, is precisely the case where publishing the pair and refusing the percentage is the honest answer.

Başlamakdan öň näme gerek
- A bachelor's degree with science prerequisites
- The Dental Admission Test
- A place at a CODA-accredited dental school
- A clinical licensing examination
Buny eğer
- you are not prepared for the largest debt on this site and the years of practice-building or buy-in that usually follow it
- you want to be an employee — most dentists own or buy into a practice, which is a second and separate capital requirement
- you cannot work with your hands at a millimetre of tolerance for eight hours a day
