Majoring in Dental Hygiene?
Question:
Answers:
well right now I am enrolled in college to receive a Associate degree in dental assisting and I believe if you want to become a dentist you have to get a Bachelors degree or masters degree and it requires 2 years of generals (pre-requisites) and 4-6 years of specializing in dentistry. Courses would include learning about head and neck anatomy, circulatory system, nervous system, dentition terms and anatomy, diseases, administering medications...there is a lot of education involved in becoming a dentist. Most colleges have an outline of the exact courses you would be taking if you were enrolled. I know it takes a lot of dedication to education and the work load is extreme, most people do not have a job throughout their learning process.
check this site... it give you the school where dental programs are offered. some states have different requirements. contact the school you are interested to get more information on the program you are interested in. to become a dentist it takes 4 years undergrad and 4 years dental school.
