Literally every current dental student who has commented is advising not to over-prepare. You could actually confuse yourself in the long run because you won't be able to discern important information from unnecessary minutiae until you understand and commit to your school's educational philosophy. Let the school mold your mind so you develop appropriate study techniques tailored to the way your professors will evaluate you. For example, there are good reasons why some curricula start with regional gross anatomy and others start with systemic. It's different depending on the school.
As others have iterated, if you do want to study something, take a look at dental anatomy & tooth morphology. That's pretty straight forward, but even still, if you're looking at the wrong textbooks, you could be studying a whole different language than the one your professors will insist you use.
I would recommend the old UMich videos you can search on Youtube...but keep in mind that some things have changed since they were filmed.
