Dean's Annual Report 2022-23

Interim Dean Laura Tam

Welcome to the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto

Just one student at the Faculty of Dentistry is all it takes to make a tremendous impact on the world - from developing oral health policies that affect millions in Canada and abroad, to developing the next-generation of dental materials or giving a smile back to a patient who has gone without.

Our vision is to improve human health by advancing dentistry through inspired leadership, innovation, and excellence in education, research and practice. Nestled In the heart of Toronto’s hospital alley, in partnership with Canada’s vibrant, innovative biomedical engineering and medical communities, the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto consistently ranks among the top dentistry programs in Canada and internationally.

Five Dentistry students – Riya George, Jade Goodman, Pegi Kaimi, Matthew-Mina Reyad and Mina Vaez – were recent recipients of the University of Toronto’s prestigious Student Leadership Award.

Research Day 2024 took place on February 13 at the Faculty of Dentistry. 

For DDS4 student Ola El Maki, giving 100 per cent at school doesn’t come at the cost of sacrificing her commitment to volunteerism.
