being a dentist requires the exact same college prep as being a medical doctor...  you should be a pre-med major in some sort of biology. most dental students have a 4-yr degree in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, zoology, microbiology, etc.  other majors are accepted, but you must take the prereqs designated by the dental school you wish to attend.  you should also join your college's pre-dental society.

Well, of course there are the subjects related specifically to the dental field such as general dentistry, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics & pediatric dentistry.  There are classes dealing with geriatrics, esthetics, implants, radiology, pharmacology, implants, ethics & practice management.  Classes are also taken in microbiology, gross anatomy, general pathology, oral pathology, oral biology, histology and biochemistry.  This is just a quick summary... there are many more classes that are taken.

Dentistry is a bit difficult field, but if you pass out, you earn in gold. If you are patient enough to wait for 10 years, then you must try going

Usually you can contact the local colleges..unless there is an actual dental school around you.  I live in Ohio, and we can go to OSU medical to the dentist.  I know a lot of people who do and say it's much cheaper!  Good luck!

i believe that dentistry takes the shortest time (5 yrs+ 1 practical training) but i guess it differs from one place to another. but i have to warn u that it's not easy. my fiance is a dentist and it's hard for both of us to handle it. if u want to literally help people, go for red cross. many of them require u to know first aid only and u can master that in a couple of short courses.\n\ngood luck:)

Dentistry is good. I'm not sure how it is in the States, but here you can (and must) practice dentistry with only an undergraduate degree. You will not be accepted into a doctorate degree without at least 8 years' clinical experience, if memory serves me correctly.\n\nBut you do have to ask yourself if you want to spend the rest of your professional life staring into people's mouths, especially when many of them will have bad breath and a lot of them will only have come to you because they have a problem and haven't had a checkup in years.

lots of science classes, so you can get a good DAT score, and get into dental school.

it depends if you want a degree like to be an RN or if you wanna just be like a dental assistant...the assistant job you can go to school and be certified in like a year i think. RN's take longer

you must get a A.A. from an accredited hand washing school BEFORE applying to dental school.It wouldn't hurt if you took a BREATHOLOGY course either, because you  know what they say..the assistants whose' breath is well gets paid well

A lot of universities will do it for little to no money. They take in people so their students can learn, using real patients. Not to worry the students are in advanced standing and always supervised. They usually do excellent work because they are enthusiastic and working toward a degree. Call the closest dental college and ask.

Find out if there is a dental school or a dental hygiene school near where you are. A lot of times, they'll offer free (or reduced cost) dental care. Hygiene schools usually only offer xrays and cleanings, but a dental school would probably be able to do fillings and restorative work.

If you're refering to University of Massachusetts, then yes. MA has some of the best schools in the country. Some other dental schools are Harvard and Tufts.
