Question:
How long is dental school? ( dentist or MD's)?
i would love to go, but i have a 1 year old, im pregnant and i have my husband, he is willing to do anything for me but i want to know if people will think its to much for me to handle or no.
Answers:
To get into dental school, one needs to have completed pre-dental courses in undergraduate college and taken the DAT examination.
All dental schools in the U.S. are 4-year programs, except the University of the Pacific in San Francisco-- theirs is a 3-year program.
The post-grad specialty training programs after dental school vary in length. Periodontics can be 3 years, some as long as 6 years like the one at Rochester. Oral surgery can be 4 or 6 years, depending on whether or not the program grants an MD degree. Orthodontics are usually 3 years, most Endodontics are 2 years, etc.
Hope this helps.
