Latinx Pre-Dental Society at UCLA

As only 9% of dentists are of the Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity, Latinx Pre-Dental Society aims at increasing retention rates of pre-dental students from these underrepresented backgrounds. By providing Hispanic/Latinx pre-dental students with exposure to resources, mentorship, and networking, we aim to create a supportive community, and draw attention to the lack of oral care and oral education in underserved communities.
