Wonderful video. Obviously always enjoy your time as well. Because dental schools get super busy. And another important thing that you need to learn is how to manage your finances well right from the start so as to payoff your dental school loans faster. Also remember that jobs with volunteering or teaching experience are great to build your conversation skills. As a dentist you are going to be the leader of the practice and having great people skills is very important. Adios from US :)

Chase your dream. 😁 I chose to become a dentist in year 11. But I wished I knew that I wanted to become a dentist in year 8. Haha. Do not worry and good luck.

I am hoping to apply for dentistry at Birmingham next year , although i received my predicted GCSE grades and in Chemistry i only got a 7 not a 8 which is an entry requirement, could i still be considered and have a chance of getting in ?

I’m in yr9 rn but I want to be a dentist but what are the key subjects that I need to get good grades on and what’s the entry level grades

[@alinaamore9947]

@@Anky07 I picked separate sciences. And try to get a 7 or above in each of the sciences because it gives you a better chance. A levels you have to pick 2 sciences i picked chemistry and bio but you can also pick maths and physics. Hope this helped

Any tips on how to improve in sciences such as biology?

[@georginafrancis4123]

@@Psyxiiko Hi, I’m a year 13(alevel) student who is a prospective dental student. Ways I used to revise biology and improve was: watch UA-cam videos,SnapRevise is a very useful tool,do all the available practise papers,go to physics and maths tutor website and there are lots of question booklets on each topic so do those too. :)
