Does anyone know when it is best to ask professors for LORs, especially when one is still in the early stages of taking pre reqs?

Let me also add that I won't be applying to dental school until next fall, BTW

There isn't a "best" time more like a time that allows your professors sufficient time to complete it. Since each professor is different, people usually give ~1-2 months before AADSAS opens and that is usually enough time. However, if you wanted to obtain them now you could and use the service Interfolio to "save" them until you apply.
