The origins of the McGill Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences are traced to the Dental College of the Province of Quebec in 1892, the second dental school to be established in Canada after the Royal College of Dental Surgeons. As a bilingual professional school, it later became a part of Bishop's University's Faculty of Medicine in 1896. In 1904, it became the McGill Dental School as a department within the faculty of medicine at McGill as part of its amalgamation of Bishop's University's relatively small faculty of medicine. It officially became its own faculty in the year 1920.
