Does anyone know of dental hygienists applying to dental school and becoming dentists?
I recently changed my major from nursing to pre-dental. I already completed all of the prerequisites for nursing and they happen to be the same prerequisites as for dental hygiene. I was thinking I should go through the dental hygiene program, get a BS in Chemistry, and apply for dental school. I know this will take a while... is this too much?
Should I just skip the dental hygiene program and go straight for my Chem degree , then apply for dental school? The thing is I thought the dental hygiene experience would be great when i apply to dental school.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about this and if you know of anyone that has done this~
