Chances of Getting in to Dental school with a Masters in Mathematics

I got my Bachelors and finishing up my masters in Mathematics, but also completed the pre-Dental curriculum. Does my masters in Math lower my chances of getting into Dental School since its not science related? My program offers a lot of Bio-Medical Statistics courses and Gene Expression in Statistics courses would that make my degree more appealing? I am doing very well (GPA wise) in my masters program (4.0), but i did not do so well in Undergrad (3.16) since i had family issues and had to work a full time job. I have not taken the DAT yet, but plan to in April. What score would be best to get to help my situation?

To be honest Im terrified of applying. I have wanted to be a Dentist my entire life. Any advice is much appreciated

Thank you

1 you will never know what will happen until you apply.
2 call schools and ask their opinion.
3 in my humble opinion, schools will suggest you to take upper did bio classes.

Your degree doesn't matter. The coursework you've taken matters. Take your pre-reqs. Take advanced sciences. Ace the DAT. Shadow. Give back. Then you'll remove as much uncertainty as possible.

Recalculate your overall gpa and include courses from both undergrad and master's.

Can't really give an assessment until we know at least that much.
