Ostrow Dentistry USC

Emmanuel, a 59 yo facing insurance limitations, found transformative dental care at USC Dental Clinic. Referred through a USC+URM outreach event, the clinic's dedicated staff provided accessible, painless, and accommodating txs, reshaping Emmanuel's perspective on oral health.

David David, a 53-year-old patient at USC Clinic at Union Rescue Mission, initially sought a root canal in Nov. 2023 & has been regularly receiving treatment. He shared that the clinic's flexibility, accessibility, & supportive staff have been crucial to his positive experience.

We, at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, stand in solidarity with @presidentfolt in our disappointment with this SCOTUS ruling and maintain our commitment to providing a diverse, equitable learning space for individuals from all backgrounds.

Ostrow researchers are investigating the ways in which nerves impact the behavior of stem cells in their latest publication in Nature Communications as part of their ongoing efforts toward replicating entire microenvironments during tissue regeneration.dentistry.usc.edu/usc-researcher…
