Answer:

Prerequisites for dental school primarily stay within the math and sciences; with that being said, colleges have started requiring more than the typical physics, biology, and organic and general chemistry. Classes that have been added to the list of prerequisite requirements at dental colleges are social sciences, like sociology and psychology, arts, to help with hand and eye coordination, ethics, and statistics. It is still important to note that dental program prerequisites almost always include biology, two semesters, and chemistry, two semester and often general and organic. If statistics is among the list of prerequisite requirements, and it will be depending on which dental college and program is chosen, it will be in addition to these basic prerequisite requirements. Because requirements can be different and dental colleges are quite specific about their prerequisites, it is important to check out a few dental colleges of choice and become familiar with their requirements and prerequisites before taking classes.
