Abstract: The question of how to develop undergraduate stomatology education in local colleges and universities has become more and more prominent with the popularization of higher education. Through longitudinal summary and in-depth reflecting on the development of stomatology education in our university, we believe that local institutions of higher education in dentistry should firstly implement the concept of "people-centered" into the whole process of talent cultivation. Secondly, we should clarify the positioning and characteristics of dentistry in our university, and set a good steering wheel for the development of higher education in dentistry in local institutions. More importantly, based on the local characteristics with a future perspective and resources integrations, we should always highlight service-driven, practice-reinforced education, promote education research, carry forward the medical spirit. By fulfilling the discipline and profession construction of stomatology and improving professional quality of every graduated talent, we shall effectively realize the sustainable development of higher stomatology education in local colleges and universities.
