Should I include future plans in Personal Statement?

I want to apply on June 1st but a lot of extracurricular events will be scheduled after this date, for example,masters program MSMS starts this fall, a pre-dental hands-on course in August at UNLV, my dental assistant program starts in September, and other public education events held with my club starting fall. Is it okay to mention all of my future plans in the statement or do I get the chance to highlight all my involvement under the experience section in the application? Is it best to update the school later once all of that is complete?

You'll have a chance to put all of that in the experiences section, make the PS about dentistry and what's gotten you to this point in choosing this as your career.

Some schools had a section for that in their secondary app, and if they don’t then you can send them an email with your plans

Got it! Thanks for clarifying, I'll look into secondary application
