Well, I'm not a dental student, but I have heard that BU's Goldmann Dental School is incredible and one of the best in the country.
Are you headed for a career in private practice or academics? If it's the former, I don't think the dental school you attend is all that important. For the most part, all dental schools do the same thing, and when you graduate with a DDS/DMD, you're in practice without residency. If you're planning to go to residency for things like OMS (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery) or Orthodontics, then maybe you should go to the best school possible.
BU, incidentally, has an OMS program that awards MDs through their School of Medicine to DDS/DMDs. The catch is that it's extremely competitive, you have to score damn high on the Dental Boards, and you've got to be from a great dental school. Being from BU might be a start if you want to be an OMS surgeon.
