A shout out to DCDS Members Dr. Sabrina Dragan and Dr. Michael Plunk!

The dental profession is experiencing a massive generational shift, and Texas A&M University College of Dentistry is ready for it.

When Dr. Sabrina Dragan met her mentor, Dr. Michael Plunk, during her residency at Texas A&M Dentistry, it launched a collaboration that would eventually see her taking the reins of his beloved pediatric dental practice in East Dallas.

From volunteering at local nonprofits to using the latest technology for nervous young patients, our graduates are standing together to provide community-centered care and service.

Thousands of retiring baby boomers are passing their responsibilities to the next generation and our young alumni are ensuring that patients receive uninterrupted, superior oral healthcare.

Aggies don't just fill vacancies in the workforce; we answer the call to service.
