The How

By Students, For Students

As an organization run by current and former dental students, we know what you need, and what you want. We know that dental school teaches you so much, but leaves out business training.

That’s why we provide our members with opportunities to network and learn the ins-and-outs of business ownership from industry leaders, so you can enter your career in dentistry with confidence.

Students Say It Best

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

We could tell you about all of the benefits of being an SDBO member, but we would rather show you what our real members have to say. Find out for yourself what students are saying!

Lief Rasmussen

“Easily the highest yielding club in dental school. For me, It’s led to many great business connections for my future practice.”

University of Florida

Trent Mandato

"SDBO has single handedly changed my outlook on dentistry. Coming into dental school I thought I had to specialize to achieve a high level of financial freedom. However, after being introduced to principles taught by SDBO I have learned the limitless potential in general dentistry. It has introduced me to invaluable contacts and taught me strategies I plan to implement in my own practice one day that will assist me in creating a successful practice."
