Hey,

I'm a freshman at a community college and I'm considering to go for dentistry or optometry. I would like more information for on pre-dental. What are the pre-requisite course I need for dentistry? I know the following courses that you need are:

1. General Biology 1 & 2
2. General Chemistry 1 & 2
3. Organic Chemistry 1 & 2
4. General Physics 1 & 2
5. English composition/writing
6. Biochemistry

**with a year of labs for some of the sciences

Is there anything else that I'm missing? What math courses should I take? Does it matter what course no. section the classes are in? What else might I need?


Thank you so much! 🙂

Look at school's websites that you'll apply at. Some want psych, micro, anatomy, etc.

keep in mind that pre-req's are just bare minimum. You should take more upper level courses to improve your chances.
