History
The College of Dental Medicine traces its origin to 1852, when the New York State legislature chartered the New York College of Dentistry, later renamed the New York College of Dental and Oral Surgery. The institution has been a leading force in dental education, research and patient care ever since. In 1916 Columbia University, having recognized dentistry as an integral and important part of the health sciences and a true university discipline, established its own school of dental education. Shortly thereafter, the new Columbia University dental school absorbed both the New York Post-graduate School of Dentistry and the New York School of Dental Hygiene. In 1923 it was joined by the New York College of Dental and Oral Surgery to form the School of Dental and Oral Surgery of Columbia University, thus completing a series of unique and complex mergers. In January 2006 the School of Dental and Oral Surgery was renamed the College of Dental Medicine.
