I just want some basic information about what type of programs that help me become a doctor or dentist throughout high school. And I am currently attending my freshman year in high school
(9th grade) and I want to find helpful volunteer programs that help me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.=)

I heard that you need 4 years of undergraduate? What exactly do you do during this time? After undergraduate do you go to dental school? And what kind of classes do you take during undergraduate? Can you take what ever you want to? and then be a dentist?

I dropped out of high school in 11th grade. I’m now 20 years old and have an appartment and a job. I just took my GED test and currently waiting on the results..I’m 100% positive I passed it. Now I was wondering…Is it possible for me to become a dentist? I’ve always wanted to be a dentist I’m very good with my hands and I have a lot of motivation. I appreciate detailed responses.

I had children young I am 20 and I am finally finding what I want to be. I think i want to be a dental hygienist and continue school get, my bachelors and try to be a dentist. I think it would be great to be able to help people in some way (I am an accountant now) and I think that doing charity work for people without insurance would be awesome. So here are my questions:
Do you think I shoul try?
Where should I start?
What other jobs can I do in the field while I get my certifications?
Around how much will I make?

Please don’t leave rude answers. I want people you really know to answer!

Do students taking these fields learn the same thing? What subjects are required in order to study in the specific field to be a dentist technician? Must the student attend dentistry school?
