Whether to put your hat in the ring for dental school or not is only your decision. You must come there on your own. There is no reason for you to feel rushed into going straight from undergrad. Many benefit from working for a few years. It helps to clarify goals.

With respect to courses, have you considered retaking the ones that you received C's in? My guess is that you could bump them on to your current schedule fairly easily, since you've already been through them and probably won't have to redo lab, if you take them at the same school. In other words, take 6 classes rather than 5 and use your summers wisely. I bet you could bang out bio during the summer. All in all, it might mean that you have a few heavy semesters, have to take summer sessions, and wait at least a year to apply. How is your overall GPA?

Good luck.
