um biochem but that's only a 2 unit course for first year.
it probably depends on the cirriculum but i would say take some neuroscience classes. my friend was a neuroscience major and its helped him a lot. it'll help a little in a lot of classes. here's some of the courses it could have helped in our first year: gross anatomy (cranial nerve stuff), neuroanatomy, neurodentistry, orofacial neurobiology, the neurophysiology portion of physiology, blah blah blah, if i have to memorize another nerve pathway i'm going to kill myself
so yeah neuroscience or just graduate early and work at a dental lab and start doing labwork

Tough to say - probably histology. Anatomy and physiology have been extremely useful, but the topics covered in those classes in dental school tend to be especially isolated to the head and neck so they have been less useful than I expected. My vote goes for histo, since taking the class forces you to learn some anatomy and physiology on the side.
