Would you say it's a good idea to take a pharmacology class before dental school? And how about electron microscopy?

pharm might be a good idea...but it's a lot of memorizing...don't know if you're remember it all when you're done...

Micro would be a good class to take... so would Physiology... and doing some prostho work in advance won't hurt either 😛

hey stargirl,
what kinds of undergrad classes are similar to prostho work in dental school? would you recommend any art courses?

 

[StarGirl]

go work at a lab or for a dentist...
there's also a class you can take at ucla for two weekends (it's like 200 dollars) to make a partial denture...

if you know enough about electron microscopy to ask if you should take a course in it, then you already know enough about it to do well in dental school. Generally, the only time electon micrographs are shown are occasionally in basic science classes, and in restorative courses when they want to make a point about the microstructure of the tooth, to compare and contrast various cutting techniques/instruments, and to graphically describe assorted restorative materials.

The only reason I can think of to take e.m. is if you are planning on going into or doing some materials research.

Cheers!
