and also would i have to take biology to become a dentist or just chemistry and physics
To become a dentist, you will have to attend university for about 4 years, possibly more before applying to dental school. Every dental school has specific requirements. You should check with each that you are interested in. For example, for UWO, physics, organic chemistry and other credits are required. For Toronto, the course requirements are very few. In any case, getting good grades is a must. It would be best to take science courses to keep your options open. If you do get into dental school, it is a 4 year program. To be an orthodontist, you will need another 3-4 years of additional training. So in summary, after high school, it will take at least 8 yrs to become a dentist and 11-12 yrs to be an orthodontist. I wish you the best of luck. Thornhill dentist http://www.bcdentalcare.ca
Please, read up on the Dentistry Faculty in your nearest university. They have strict requirements in terms of marks and the classes you must take. You should be taking biology, chemistry, physics and pre-cal or applied mathematics. There are specific marks you must get in these classes so read up on that. Also, it is probably very hard to get into the Faculty of Dentistry, so you have to be on top of your game.
