<p>Well, you probably won’t take all requirements for medical school just because you want to aim for dental school. There may or may not be a significant difference, I just never looked into it. Yes, you can major in pretty much anything you want (my uncle was a chemistry major and is a dentist now). You will want to major in something you’re interested in because you may not get into dental school or decide not to go and you’ll have a decent backup plan. Taking the few prerequisites won’t eliminate many (if any) possibilities for majors. Here is an example of a school’s (University of Michigan) dental school requirements: English Composition, Biology w/ lab, Chemistry w/ lab, Organic Chemistry w/ lab (ouch), Physics w/ lab, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Sociology, Psychology. These all differ in the level (101, 213, 325, or whatever) and amount of credit hours required and may not be typical of all schools, but it should give you a general idea. I would start by looking at the specific school’s requirements that you are thinking of applying to in the future, or talk to an advisor. Hope it helps!</p>
