I am going to apply to dental school next year and have a double major in bio and chem. I have worked as a registered dental assistant through senior year if high school and all of college. I started a pre dental club and my school and was the president for 3 years. The problem is my GPA is low..
Cum- 3.2
Science 3.3
 
You should do everything that you're missing.
 
You should take upper level science coursework and get A's in all the courses. Start with one course your first semester, then take two, then three, etc. The important thing is to keep the GPA high and show that you truly have changed and are getting amazing grades.

As for how to get good grades, well that depends on what your specific problems are. Study hard, get help when you need it, get tutoring if you need it, manage your time well, etc etc.
