what subjects do i need to study for dentistry?

Q. hi just wanted to say firstly that your really pretty for a dentist. i’m a 15 year old boy in high school my question is that i would like to know what subjects are needed to further a carrer in dentistry because i’m realy interested in it i would also like to know what the required courses are and your opinion on the best universities to study preferably your’s but basically the best thank you.

A. Hi G, Thanks for the compliment and the question.
Biology and chemistry are definitely required and then third can be any subject. It doesn’t necessarily have to be another science, it is best to double check on the UCAS forms though. Universities are looking for diversity amongst their applicants. I studied biology, chemistry and physics at A- level. I think that the grades needed now are A A B, but some universities may vary. I went to Leeds, which is a fantastic school but Newcastle, Birmingham, Sheffield, Bristol are all very good Universities. If you fancy London then there is Guys Hospital Dental School. It is hard work but its all worth it in the end.
Good Luck with all your endevours

Kind Regards
