Dental school or med school easier to get into?
I know both are very competitive but over all which one do people think its easier in different aspects?
Dental school or med school easier to get into?
I'll tell you that many people believe Dental School is easier to get into but I think it is at least as difficult to get into dental school as medical school. I pretty sure people will say otherwise but don't underestimate dental school. You'll hear about people with good credentials apply 2 or more times before they get in.

Which dental school is better ? Temple University Dental School or University of Florida dental school?
I don't know which one is ranked higher from an academic point of view, but I do know one thing - if I had a choice between spending four years in Florida and four years on North Broad St in Philadelphia, I'd be out buying some new sunglasses and shorts right now!

School for Dental Assisting?
I NEED TO FIND A SCHOOL FOR DENTAL ASSISTING, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SCHOOL. I WOULD RATHER DO AN ONLINE PROGRAM BUT HOW WILL THAT EFFECT ME WHEN I HAVE TO FIND A JOB IN THIS FIELD SINCE I WOULD HAVE NO REAL EXPERIENCE?
School for Dental Assisting?
You could look for an ad for an opening for a dental assistant that offers on-the-job-training, but depending on where you live, you may not be able to (take xrays, impressions, etc,) without certification/licensure.
There are adult education classes as well as classes at community colleges that offer dental assisting training. You need to make sure the classes are governed by the (your state) education department.
Keep in mind, too, that current dental assistants (and dentists and hygienists) were not born with the knowledge they possess... they learned it at one time, just like you will..... and there are plenty of dentists out there who realize this and will still hire girls who lack experience. Someone just needs to give you a chance, so don't get discouraged.....
Taking an online course will just be a waste of your money, since addition to the 'bookwork', you also need hands-on experience.
Best of luck to you~
Reply:You really should get some real experience before you go applying for a job. It's one of those things that can be taught on the job but a dentist is going to have his own headaches and will want you to help not hinder.

I've got a fine art B.A. and an M.S. in art ed. I'm 33 and considering dental school. Could I really get in?
I've got a few science classes under my belt, but I would obviously have to finish the pre-reqs. I think dentistry is a wonderful combo of art and science. Has anyone really started this late in life and with a background like mine? I've been teaching high school for the last four years. Help???

I just graduated med school and several of my classmates were over 40 (a couple over 50). I'm sure dental schools will take a good look at you if your grades from your science classes and your DAT scores are OK. Take a look at http://forums.studentdoctor.net and look at the Pre-Dental and DAT forums.
Reply:you could if you tried?
Reply:of course you can get in.
prereqs, and you should be good to go
Reply:I dont see why not, you got into the other schools
Reply:It's never too late! It is a wonderful and challenging occupation. Good luck to you!
Reply:OMG - you are so overqualified for dental school! Just kidding.
Go for it. If it's what you want to do. They take fairly ignorant just graduated from high-school people, so why wouldn't they take you. You've proved you can learn and are a responsible adult.
If you take the classes and meet the requirements for entry into the program they have no reason not to accept you.
Reply:I have no doubt that you could. It sounds like you're trying to run away from the problems of the real world and stay a perpetual student.
Reply:33 is not too old
you definitely can do it if you want to
get all your pre-reqs done and make sure you have a great GPA
Reply:Absolutely! Talk with the liason of pre med/pre vet/pre dental at your Undergrad (yes, I know it sounds weird, but I'm being serious!). They will recommend what classes you will need, what tests you will take (and their costs) and, given your current GPA, what Dental programs look most promising. Remember, grad programs are more and more looking for people with "real life experience:" which is a fancy way of saying you're mature enough to handle yourself and any curve balls that come your way.

Dental training school?
i've heard that these training schools have people come in to get some practice. my family and i have a low income and cant afford to go to an actual dental office. the prices are just too high for us to afford and i heard that they charge either free or reduced dental work. we are around the central florida area. please help!!!
Dental training school?
Yes you can go to a dental school and find out how they can help you. They will first have to assess if you qualify for treatment and there are extremely long waiting lists.
Reply:Contact the American Dental Association and inquire about the local dental society in your area. They should be able to give you a listing of dentists that provide free or sliding scale services in your area.

What do I have to do to be able to get my teeth fixed at a University Dental School in Chicago?
I don't have insurance and I don't make so much money. I have been told that I can go to UIC to get dental work done without having to pay a whole lot. I haven't been able to find anything googling, and I don't want to walk in there without knowing the first thing, or if it is even offered.

check this out:
Reply:If the schools number is available, call them and ask about getting dental work done. Sometimes offered services like dental work at schools isn't advertised too well.
Reply:Contact the UIC College of Dentistry. There is a screening process, but the overall dental fees are very affordable. If you can't wait, contact the Chicago Dental Society or go onto their website. Under the "Dental Clinics" category, you should be able to find a dentist that provides free, low cost or sliding scale services.
