Thanks for the great link! it's nice to have all of that information condensed into one page.

This is a good website that gives an overview of dental procedures, oral conditions, and cosmetic dentistry. I found it helpful to use before shadowing so you know what and why the dentist is doing what he is doing. Hope it helps:

Here is a link to the Army's website for those who might be interested in applying for a scholarship. They pay for 4 years of school and require a 4 year service after your army residency. The NY recruiter phoned me about this--if you want to contact her call (877-229-0413).

Good Luck

Why is this site link censored? (Chad's videos I assume)

Came here to mention www.DMDstudent.com, as I just saw it, but noticed it's already mentioned by its author, fantastic site.

Here's one I don't think is up here, it's by one of our Army dentists (Krmower), his blog:

Let this be a thread for quick reference so you won't have to go back and forth searching for a particular thread.

American Dental Association (ADA) --> http://www.ada.org/index.aspx

I built a website to help people become dentists. It answers 3 questions, 1) If you should become a dentist, 2) How you can become a dentist, 3) How you can be successful as a dentist?

I think the second section would be very helpful for pre-dental students. I also have pictures of my dental school. The link is in my signature so I won't post it twice. Thanks and good luck.

I was on the admissions committee during my time at dental school. You can check out my blog at www.dentalschoolanswers.com. If there's a particular topic that's been holding you up or if you have any questions you want answered in the blog, feel free to send me a message on SDN or to the email address listed on the blog site. Good luck everyone!

As of today (9/25/11) all the links have been checked and all dead links have been removed. Please feel free to add useful links for Predents.

Hey everyone, this website is rather new but has a designated pre-dental section. Come check it out and post your input!

http://www.collegiateissues.com/pre-dental/

Also some good pre-dental advising twitter accounts to follow -

Check out this Link for all sorts of information on the DAT, dental school application, and interviews.

Here is another site called Dental Dad Diary that is fun to follow. This student writes all kinds of articles about his journey through dental school.

I found this to be helpful: Top Ten Tips for Thriving While In Dental School

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl...-and-dentists/

good luck future dentists

1. "How to Apply to Dental School" - Sample Application for Pre-Dents (2012 cycle version)


2. A link explaining what a "holistic cover sheet" is. This is something new that the ADEA has implemented in 2013 cycle.


3. General advice/tips on the application process (very detailed.)
