I asked LOR from my Math professor, Bio profesor, ochem professor and a dentist.
I've checked some dental schools websites that I am applying to regarding LOR requirements but most of them says "three (3) individual Letters of Evaluation (two of which must be from science instructors who know the applicant personally)."

So, only 2 LORs are specified as science professors.. but since it doesn't really say who I should get the third one from, I think another LOR from a science professor is okay right??

Please confirm!

Thanks!!

Its perfectly fine (unless your school specifically requires two sci letters and third from someone else), but I had three sci profs and one dentist write my letters.

I think you will be fine. In fact some schools, such as Harvard and Columbia, actually want 3 LOR from science professors. I would, however, try to get in a LOR from a dentist into the mix.
