🦷 White coats. Big smiles. An exciting milestone.

This afternoon, the College of Dentistry celebrated our 2026 White Coat Ceremony, recognizing 35 DMD students from the Class of 2029 and 10 IDDP students from the Class of 2028 as they take an important step forward in their dental education.

Surrounded by family, friends, faculty and staff, our future dentists received their white coats and marked their transition into the clinical phase of their education.

Today was a celebration of how far they have come — and of the exciting journey still ahead.

Congratulations to all 45 of our future dentists! We are incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes you.

Just look at those smiles! 😁🦷💚

🍦 Scooping up a great start to the new academic year!

Week 2 of Orientation Week got a little sweeter yesterday with our College of Dentistry Ice Cream Social! 🍨

Students, faculty and staff took a break to enjoy some treats, catch up with familiar faces and connect with new ones as we continue to welcome everyone back to the College.

Great people, great conversations and treats all around — that’s one way to get the new academic year kicked off right!

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead! 💚

📸 One step closer.

This week, we welcomed back our returning Year 2, 3 and 4 DMD students, along with our Year 2 Dental Therapy and Year 2 and 3 Dental Hygiene students, as they begin another year at the College of Dentistry.

Each new academic year marks another step forward — more knowledge, more clinical experience, more confidence and one step closer to becoming the oral health professionals they have worked so hard to be.

It was great to see familiar faces back in our classrooms, clinics and hallways and to feel the energy of a new year underway.

Welcome back! We’re excited to see what you accomplish this year. 💚💛

🥼 A milestone moment is almost here.

This Friday, the USask College of Dentistry will celebrate one of the most meaningful moments in a dental student’s journey — the 2026 White Coat Ceremony.

Students from the Doctor of Dental Medicine Class of 2029 and International Dental Degree Program Class of 2028 will be officially cloaked in their white coats and recite the Code of Professional Conduct — marking their transition from the lab to the clinic and a new responsibility to the patients they will serve.

Ahead of Friday’s ceremony, our latest article looks at the meaning behind this tradition and what the white coat represents as students take this important next step in their professional journey.

👏 Celebrating 36 years of dedication to dental education

Last Friday, the USask College of Dentistry was proud to recognize Dr. Dave Stark for his remarkable 36 years of teaching and service to the College.

Dr. Stark’s connection to the College began as a student in 1985. After graduating with the College’s gold medal in 1990, he was quickly recruited back to teach — beginning an extraordinary career in dental education that would span generations of students.

Over the years, Dr. Stark served in numerous teaching and leadership roles, including as a clinical professor and leader of the College’s preclinical program. Even after officially retiring in 2020, he continued giving back as a part-time sessional lecturer and faculty member through this year.

His impact can be seen in the hundreds of students he has taught, the colleagues he has worked alongside and the programs he helped strengthen.

Thank you, Dr. Stark, for 36 years of teaching, mentorship, leadership and commitment to the College of Dentistry. Your legacy will continue through the generations of dental professionals who had the privilege of learning from you. 🦷💚

Learning from those who came before them 🦷💚

Day 2 of Orientation Week continued this afternoon with some valuable advice for the newest members of the USask College of Dentistry community.

Our incoming students had the opportunity to hear directly from those who have already walked the path ahead of them during a Q&A panel featuring senior students from DMD, Dental Therapy and Dental Hygiene, along with a Dental Assisting graduate.

From sharing their experiences and lessons learned to offering practical advice on navigating the challenges and opportunities ahead, our panellists gave our newest students a glimpse of what life at the College of Dentistry is really like.

A big thank you to our students and graduate for sharing their stories — and for helping the next group get their journey off to a great start!
