So I am applying to Dental Schools next cycle, and I wanted to seek advice as to how to go about choosing what Schools to apply to. Is there an official guide about what programs the schools offer, their cirriculum, the percentage of students that pass the boards on the first time, the percentage of students that specialize, and the cost of tuition, etc. Any ideas as to what book I should get? I know the ADA has one but how good is that really? Do you have any recommendations. I just took my DAT yesterday and got a 21 AA/18 PAT, and I have a 3.7GPA. I really wanna go to UB Dental School, but I want to do my research before setting making it my top choice.

The ADA book is damn good. Why would you think it's not? Use Doc Toothache's Excel file as well to sort the DAT/GPA/acceptances/interviews if you want.

Hang out on SDN for awhile. Read some threads. You'll get good ideas about schools. 😉
