You have a steep hill in front of you to dental school admission. I really don't see you being admitted if you apply this year. The sharp downward trend (from an already low/sub-3 sGPA) is a red flag.
If you really want to be a dentist, you're going to have to do a full-time masters or postbacc. I'd argue for the masters because I don't think the GPA is salvageable in a reasonable time frame.
Yes, the courses you take now will get combined with your undergrad gpa. Still, with your record, I don't think doing well in 2 classes at a time is going to be enough. You need to kill the DAT, enroll in a full-time master's program, ace everything, and then you might stand a chance.
I don't mean to be overly negative, but it's important to be realistic and not sugar-coat these things. It's years of your life/money being used (and/or wasted) here. It is possible, but it's going to be a difficult journey. Best of luck with whatever path you choose!
