Dentistry is a wonderful field. If you like working with and helping people, you should seriously consider it. You need to have a good background in the sciences and have some decent hand-eye coordination.





Different dental schools have different requirements for application. You should contact the schools that you are interested in to determine their prerequisites. You should also speak with a guidance counselor at your school.





The American Dental Association's website (ada.org) has links to the US dental schools. They also accredit the different schools, so you can see the accreditation status of the schools.
Reply:MS is right. Follow the advice.
