Before applying to dental programs, candidates must complete, at minimum, two years of undergraduate study. Candidates often major in Biology, chemistry or health-related fields for their undergraduate degrees.

  1. Dental schools require candidates to pass a Dental Admissions Test (DAT) before acceptance into their program.
  2. After graduation, most states require dentists to pass a written and practical examination before they are able to practice dentistry.

Other than the educational requirements, dentists must have near perfect manual dexterity and a good visual memory. Other skills such as spacial judgment and the abilities to recall and diagnose are also important
