Texas A&M College of Dentistry in Dallas is dedicated to academic excellence, trailblazing research, and community-centered care and service. The college opened its doors in 1905, was affiliated with Baylor University from 1918 to 1971 and spent the next 25 years as an independent, private institution. In 1996, the College of Dentistry entered an entirely new era as a member of The Texas A&M University System.
