^ That, and get a 20+ on your DAT with no sections below an 18 and stay active. Either take classes + do EC or work + do EC.

Take the next OChem and rock the DAT. Your GPA is below average so you need to do really well on the DAT to be taken seriously. Good luck!

Since you already have your bachelors, enter a post-bacc program and complete o-chem 2 while taking additional science courses. Study for the DAT, continue volunteering/shadowing, get additional EC's, keep your grades up, and dental school shouldn't be too far away.

I would say go for a SMP instead of post-bac...

When GPA is low, like everyone said, make sure to keep your image strong so do well on the DAT, work, accrue extra curriculars and shadowing etc.

The alternate route I have seen a lot of people take (both in dental and medicine) is post-bacc studies. If you have the interest, get in somewhere and you'll increase GPA and show your propensity for higher education. If you pick the right programs, you probably will get a decent enough stipend while you earn an extra degree etc. If you don't have serious interest in research though, probably not the best idea.
