9. Florida College of Dentistry
We are continuing our list of best pediatric dentistry residency programs in the United States with the University of Florida- Gainesville College of Dentistry that has earned a heralded reputation both domestically and internationally. Part and parcel to the school of dentistry’s great reputation is its renowned pediatric dentistry program. With an average class size of 93 students and acceptance rates just south of 7%, getting into Florida’s dentistry school is by no means a walk in the park. For those that are fortunate enough to be admitted, however, the school’s 25-month program offers an array of amenities, including access to all University of Florida Health Center Hospitals, the Acorn Rural Health Clinic, and the Florida School for Deaf and Blind. Beyond this, the school’s curriculum features courses in oral radiology, oral pathology, and biostatistics in the didactic curriculum, as well as hospital-based dental care in operating room settings, emergency dental care, and comprehensive preventative and restorative care as part of the clinical curriculum.
