Q. Can anyone tell me which are the best Dental Schools in USA and in canada too

A. You can't really put the name "best" on any given dental school. Each school has its strengths and weaknesses. Its like saying (I understand you're from Canada) which school is better, Waterloo or McGill. In the field of engineering, McGill is not fit to hold Waterloo's jock straps but if we shift to sciences, Waterloo is no match. One dental school may be strong in the research, another may be strong in clinical and others may be in academics. How do you define "the best dental school"? USC dental program has one of the highest state board exam pass rates in the state but would I say its the best dental school in california, certainly not. The average GPA to get into Western Ontario dental school is much higher than that of USC, would anyone dare to say Western is better than USC, of course not. Some dental schools are better than others of course and I did quite a bit of asking around "which is better" myself. But I realized what everyone else is saying is correct. It doesn't matter which school is better or worse. It matters whether or not you can pass the board and get your license. And to do that, you almost certainly have to attend the school at where you want to practice. It sounds like a broken record but its true. I would like to point out that half of the University of Iowa College of Dentistry Seniors who took the Board Exam required for licensing in Iowa failed, other states had even higher failure rates. So going to school in the state where you want to practice is certainly no guarantee of success.
