[Typical Average Student]

Most people are around 21 years old, some people apply when they're in their late 30s and even 40s. It's never too old to learn.

The average age for entering dental students is around 24-25 years old.

In two years she will qualify for SS; that should put a dent in her debt.

I'll be 24 when I apply.

 

[The real 007]

I'm 20 years old and if I get accepted my first time i'll be barely 21 when school starts.

Technically, you can be practicing dentistry by the age of 23....that's the fastest route I know of.

Graduate HS @ 18. Get into UoP's 2+3 combined program.
Graduate DS @ 23.
