I have completed IGCSE (british curriculum) and hold a dental assistance certificate as well. I'm thinking of joining Dental hygiene and going onto joining dental school with DH associate degree.
Any advice please?

An associate degree is not adequate preparation for ds while an associate in hygiene is even worst. With one exception, all US dental schools require prerequisites to have been completed at a US institution.I have completed IGCSE (british curriculum) and hold a dental assistance certificate as well.

Howard, UF, Midwestern Illinois, Illinois, Boston, Tufts, East Carolina and Utah are the only dental schools that require a BS prior to matriculation.You need Bachelors degree in the US. And it should be from US or Canada

You mean a "de facto" requirement?Yea ok, 98 (99?) percent of students have a bachelors degree
Whichever you like the most (as long as you also complete the prerequisites).So what bachelors would be good if i want to get into dentistry?
Thanks guys!
