How and where can I do Dentistry in the US after A-Levels?

Ways to do Dentistry in the US?

Please help me.

I am from the UK and have done my A-Levels. I want to be a Dentist and would like to study in the US. I dont know where should i apply and when? Also can i study dentistry immediately after doing my A-Levels?

Do i have to do any other course like Pre-Dental course before getting into Dentistry. If yes, then where can i do the pre-dental course and how long does it take. Please help with secific links or any information you may have.

Thanks a lot.


Answers:

I'm not sure what is the U.S. equivalent of the UK A-Level education (high school, maybe?).. You might want to find that out first.

Anyway, here in the U.S., if you already have a high-school-level education, you need to attend college (i.e. a bachelor's degree program) and take pre-dental requirement courses during that time, take the DAT examination, accumulate letters of recommendations (majority of which must be from science instructors) then apply to dental school. The process of licensure to practice comes near the end of dental school.

Check out the American Dental Association website (www.ada.org) under their section for students and educators for more career planning info.

Good luck.

Hope this helps.
