Educational preparation to become a dentist should include lots of science. Biology, chemistry( inorganic, organic, bio), physics, and anatomy should be emphasized.
In addition, courses in business (accounting, management, marketing, etc) will be helpful if one becomes a private practice dentist.
Courses that help one understand human nature and behavior will also be very useful (psychology, comparative religions, cultural anthropology, etc).
All 50 States and the District of Columbia require dentists to be licensed. To qualify for a license in most States, candidates must graduate from an accredited dental school and pass written and practical examinations. Education and training. In 2006, there were 56 dental schools accredited by the American Dental Association's (ADA's) Commission on Dental Accreditation. Dental schools require a minimum of 2 years of college-level predental education prior to admittance. Most dental students have at least a bachelor's degree before entering dental school, although a few applicants are accepted to dental school after 2 or 3 years of college and complete their bachelor's degree while attending dental school. High school and college students who want to become dentists should take courses in biology, chemistry, physics, health, and mathematics. College undergraduates planning on applying to dental school are required to take many science courses. Because of this, some choose a major in a science, such as biology or chemistry, while others take the required science coursework while pursuing a major in another subject. All dental schools require applicants to take the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). When selecting students, schools consider scores earned on the DAT, applicants' grade point averages, and information gathered through recommendations and interviews. Competition for admission to dental school is keen. Dental school usually lasts 4 academic years. Studies begin with classroom instruction and laboratory work in science, including anatomy, microbiology, biochemistry, and physiology. Beginning courses in clinical sciences, including laboratory techniques, are also completed. During the last 2 years, students treat patients, usually in dental clinics, under the supervision of licensed dentists. Most dental schools award the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). Others award an equivalent degree, Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). Some dental school graduates work for established dentists as associates for 1 to 2 years to gain experience and save money to equip an office of their own. Most dental school graduates, however, purchase an established practice or open a new one immediately after graduation. Licensure. Licensing is required to practice as a dentist. In most States, licensure requires passing written and practical examinations in addition to having a degree from an accredited dental school. Candidates may fulfill the written part of the State licensing requirements by passing the National Board Dental Examinations. Individual States or regional testing agencies administer the written or practical examinations. In 2006, 17 States licensed or certified dentists who intended to practice in a specialty area. Requirements include 2 to 4 years of postgraduate education and, in some cases, the completion of a special State examination. Most State licenses permit dentists to engage in both general and specialized practice. Other qualifications. Dentistry requires diagnostic ability and manual skills. Dentists should have good visual memory, excellent judgment regarding space, shape, and color, a high degree of manual dexterity, and scientific ability. Good business sense, self-discipline, and good communication skills are helpful for success in private practice. Advancement. Dentists who want to teach or conduct research usually spend an additional 2 to 5 years in advanced dental training, in programs operated by dental schools or hospitals. A recent survey by the American Dental Education Association showed that 11 percent of new graduates enrolled in postgraduate training programs to prepare for a dental specialty.

go ot dentistry school
This is my answer (Not the same person who just wrote that ^ lol!)
Hope this helps!
To become a Dentist, you must go through 7-8 years of collage with a degree in Doctor of Dental Surgery. Also Dental school studies are very necessary. And all dentists must pass additional state requirement tests to receive their required licences.
Science mostly, everything a person would study to become a doctor.
It really depends on where you're from. But the major subjects that are needed to study for dentistry are chemistry, physics, biology, math B, math C, and English.
To name a few "important" sujects: Molecular and Cellular Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Human Anatomy, advanced math, Chemistry (organic and inorganic) and Physics, are all important.

Whatever the nursing school you want to attend says you should study.
u should study science
study media i guess
i would study the human teeth maybe buy a model of it, investigate some dentist tools. Yes its all about studying. thanks ^^
Suffering
art
Photojournalism is a good subject to study.
i think we should study for 3 to 4 years
you should take music classes
There are many things you could study in high school and college to become financial manager. You must study money and math for example.
the field of study of a dentist is the inside of a mouth.
You should study Latin and take all of your English courses. Another area you should study is Communication, so that you understand what it takes to be effective.
