No way! Community college credits are THAT BAD?! Whoa dude are you serious!? ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! :-( The only science class from my WHOLE curriculum that I am taking at community college is chemistry 1 and 2 thats it. Physics, Organic, Genetics, Cal and physiology and all that stuff is at university... So my grades are ok? I shouldnt be worried right? Thank you guys so much!

It was a joke, I have something like 30-40 credits from community college.

It's just a bit of a running joke around here. SNDers tend to take generally true statements and carry them to an absurd extreme. Anyway, in your WORST term so far, you earned a 3.25 GPA. Plenty get admitted with overall undergrad GPAs that low (for example, yours truly).

Without knowing the rest of your application, nobody can predict your odds of getting accepted. Let's face it, we're pre-dents, we couldn't really predict your odds even if we saw your complete application. However, it would be very surprising if your grades so far were cause alone for any dental school to reject you.
