Dentistry School?

Is dentistry like any other graduate program? How would the schooling be like, would I have summers off or would it be a full trimester?


Thank you

Dentistry School?
To receive a dental degree, you must attend a 4-year dental school. Most students have a bachelor's degree prior to entry into dental school, usually in one of the biological sciences or chemistry. Besides passing the Dental Admission Test (DAT) with a high enough score, you have to be admitted to one of the 55 or so US schools. Competition is stiff to get in, and you have to be about a "B" student or better. The curriculum is rigorous for 4 years, and most of your summers are involved in either clinical work or other work related to dentistry. Once you have graduated, you then have to pass a state board exam. If you pass that exam, then a state can issue you a license to practice dentistry. It's hard to become a dentist, and you have to be truly dedicated to pursue this degree program.
Reply:What are you going for? Dental Assisting, Hygiene, Orthodontics, Dentist......





I'm in school right now for Assisting and it's a two year program (AAS or Diploma) So far it's not too difficult but I'm sure it'll get more difficult. And in my school we have Christmas break for about a month and then come back for the second semester. And then after finals in May we're off until August/September... But all schools are going to be different.
