dental school courses

[qwertyuiop]

do we actually need to know organic chemistry and chemistry for dental school? will any classes build on the concepts learned in organic chemistry? or can we forget what was learned once you take the DAT?

My mentor and friend (now a DDS from UCSF) said you will never touch O-Chem again!! And he didn't sound too upset about it!

You dont use it directly, but some extremely basic concepts are used...like in biochemistry.
