4-Yr Total Tuition and Fees These values come from the 2018-19 Commission on Dental Accreditation report. They include the total tuition and fees to complete the program, DO NOT include cost of living, and may slightly overestimate the program's cost, as some minor costs are optional (student health insurance, laptop, etc.). | $407,218 |

At Tufts, the first year is fairly light and lectures are recorded, meaning attendance is not mandatory.
For the fall semester, the major courses are Gross Anatomy, Dental Anatomy, Ethics, Intro to Dental Patient, and Operative Dentistry. For the spring semester, the major courses are Tissue Biology, Tissue Injury/Host Defense, Neuroscience, Cardiovascular, and Gastro-Intestinal. These courses are integrated (all subjects) and taken one at a time in a 4-5 week block meaning for all of your basic science classes there is just one exam at a time which is very nice and condenses your studying. Also taken during this time is Operative Dentistry (cont.), Intro to Dental Patient (cont.), and Oral Health Promotion. The professors teach all the Tufts Health students (Medical, PA, Graduate) so you get good exposure to your basic sciences.
