Dr. James Lozier, DDS
Dr James Lozier grew up in Hamilton Square, NJ and attended Trenton State College in Ewing, NJ. He studied Biology and Chemistry while at TSC before attending Georgetown University School of Dentistry in Washington DC. Dr. Lozier earned his DDS degree in 1988.
Dr Lozier always had and has a passion for teaching and while opening his practice in Hamilton Square, NJ, in 1992 he developed Dental Decks Part I and Part II which became the number one study aid in the world for preparing Dental students for their National Board Exams. In 1996 he was forced to “retire” from clinical dentistry due to carpel tunnel syndrome in both hands. He continued to update and move Dental Decks to the forefront of National Board study material. It has been estimated that he has helped over 350,000 Dental students all over the world succeed on their National Board Exams.
In 2011, Dr. Lozier sold Dental Decks to Oakstone Publishing located in Birmingham, Alabama. In January 2015, Oakstone Publishing was acquired by Ebix, Inc. Dr. Lozier subsequently left Ebix in July of 2015. For the next 8 years, Dr. Lozier and his Team developed the Digital Dental Notes in anticipation for the INBDE which finally came to fruition in 2023. He truly believes this total INBDE study program will become the “The Gold Standard for INBDE Preparation.” He is married to Susan Lozier. He has two adult children Ashley and Jimmy and his dog Jax whom he fondly refers to as “the man.”

It gives you the flexibility to travel with your study material anywhere in the world and even between patients in your clinic.”
“The Digital Dental Notes were “god given” to me and is the best thing that I studied for my INBDE. Dr Jim is amazing and really took his old Dental Decks to a new level with Digital Dental Notes, I recommend the “Notes” to anyone who is trying to pass the INBDE.”
“Hello Dr. Lozier, I’d like to say how much I absolutely love the digital dental notes, they are so much better than the old dental decks. The material is really precise and on point. I haven’t yet given my dental boards, yet I will be giving it in January first week. I am currently using digital dental notes as my primary resource and have informed a few of my friends about it too. I absolutely love it, and the e-library is so helpful! I would like to thank you once again for being generous and helpful with the coupon code.”
