Dean's Welcome

  Qi Wang, DDS – Dean and Chief Academic Officer

Welcome to the Lincoln Memorial University College of Dental Medicine!  At the heart of our school is a shared commitment to service, compassion, and patient-centered care. Whether you are considering dentistry as your calling or entrusting us with your oral health, you are a valued part of our community. Our students are educated in an environment that emphasizes excellence in comprehensive care, guided by dedicated faculty who believe that great dentistry begins with listening, respect, and human connection. Our patients receive thoughtful, carefully supervised care in a welcoming setting where dignity, comfort, and trust matter. Through service to underserved and rural communities, we are shaping dentists who lead with integrity, empathy, and purpose, professionals who understand that their greatest impact comes from caring for people, not just treating teeth. Together, we are building healthier communities and a brighter future, one patient and one student at a time.

Improving the Nation’s Oral Health

Despite all we know about the importance of oral health to overall health, to people’s self-esteem, and to their employability, state and federal policies continually sell dental care short.

Most states spend 2 percent or less of their Medicaid budgets on dental services. An estimated 164 million work hours are lost yearly due to oral disease.

The American Dental Association is committed to improving the nation’s oral health through public education and legislative advocacy to strengthen funding for dental services provided through public health programs.
