Patient Bill of Rights
The faculty, staff, and student dentists strive to provide our patients with dental treatment that meets or exceeds the current standards of care for the dental profession in a considerate, respectful and professional manner. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran's status, gender, national origin or disability.

- Discuss any concerns with your student, a faculty member, or the Dental Schoolís Clinic Director. If you decide not to seek treatment, the consequences of non-treatment will be explained to you.
