Are dental schools on a semester basis or a yearly basis, so if i graduate in December do I have to wait till next Sept to attend dental school or can I be accepted for the Spring semester?

Um...No you can't be accepted to start in the spring.

Because most dental schools begin some clinical work as well as human anatomy/dissection in the fall semester, you can only enter dental school in the fall semester or else you will be missing a lot of materials and will be very difficult to catch up. Dental schools' curriculum are not as flexible as undergrad so they have no way of taking in students mid way through the school year.
