Empowering the Next Generation of Dental Professionals
Mentorship, guides, and 1:1 coaching for underrepresented minority pre-dental & dental students. From prerequisite courses all the way through to your acceptance letter.
Only 10% of dentists look like the patients who need them most.
According to the American Dental Association, only about 10% of practicing dentists in the United States identify as African American, Hispanic, or Native American. Research shows that patients are more likely to seek regular dental care when their providers share their cultural background, which makes a diverse workforce essential to improving oral health in underserved communities.
Underrepresented students often face unique challenges on the path to dentistry. Just Flossy aims to be a source of encouragement and support, connecting underrepresented pre-dental and dental students with the mentorship and resources they need to succeed.
