There was a recent article in the ADA news titled
Summing up dental school costs
The total cost of a dental eductation- the sum of tuition, mandatory general fees, instruments, textbooks, health service fees, and other costs for all four years- has risen consistently over the past 10 years. From 1999-2008, costs for residents among all United States dental schools increased by 87 percent, from $78,835 to $147,409 while non-resident costs increased by 81.1 percent from $113,965 in 1999-2000 to $206,423 in 2008-09.
Why do these costs keep skyrocketing?
