I do not think there is an official B.S. in pre-dentistry, but there doesn’t have to be. Students applying to dental school, much like medical school, typically earn a science degree - like Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Psychobiology, etc - and apply with that. As long as you’ve down your pre-requisite courses (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc) then they usually don’t care what major you have, and having a degree saying “pre-dentistry” wouldn’t give you an application advantage.

There were talks about adding a dental school but that has died down. The state would have to fund it and right now they’re not keen on adding more dental schools (or law schools, for that matter).
