I have talked to ADCOM's and they say with my GPA >3.2, degree background, experience in Dentistry, Current DAT, etc... I am a very competitive candidate. If I take the DAT again and do worse, does that effect my first scores and me being a competitive candidate? Just wondering.

Realistically ... they are ok scores ...RC is good... but not the best of scores... GPA wise... if you have over 3.2 its all good... you're right there lingering on competitiveness... but in conjunction with the two... they make you an ok....interviewable candidate in some schools... depending on how picking you are in what school you want to get into....don't be shocked to get interviews but be prepared to explain... one low score can always be ruled out as a fluke but with two areas with low end scores... very questionable ...to the ADCOMM that is ... retake the test... utilize the experience from the first time around... and get those scores up to or ....near the 20ish areas... DAT's and GPA's is what's gonna get you in the doors of an interview... dont worry about getting lower scores... think positive.
