Dental School, please help?

I Want to become a Dentist, (actual dentist not a hygienist or assistant). I plan on going to a community college for my generals first and maybe my prerequesite classes if the school offers them, then I plan to transfer to a university. I'm having trouble finding info on what classes I need to take and how long it will take. Any info or tips would help, esspecially helpful websites if you know of any. Thank you.

Dental School, please help?
I am an academic advisor at a large public university. All of our pre-dental students are told to follow our general Pre-Health curriculum for students going into medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, etc. to be sure you are fully prepared. This includes:


General Biology 1 and 2


General Chemistry 1 and 2


Genetics


Organic Chemistry 1 and 2


Physics 1 and 2


2 semesters of math (usually 2 calc classes or 1 calc and 1 stats class)





However, the previous posters are correct--you should probably call someone at the university you want to transfer to, and see what they suggest.
Reply:You should probably major in a science like biology, chemistry, or pre-med. Find or call dental schools to see what they may require.
Reply:it's a HUGE waste of time and money to guess about these things - call a local university (preferably the one you are thinking of transfering to because every university is different and they may be picky about what credits they will take for transfer) and ask them!
Reply:Always remember your local public library - many have brochures from colleges and universities that can be used to see what they typically require. Get the latest brochures from the institutes you are interested in attending when getting to the 'really serious' stage.





Use "dental school prerequisites" in quotes to find some links via major search engines.
Reply:General chemistry, Calculus 1 and 2, general biology, physics, and organic chemistry, and good scores on DAT
