A: FROM MENTOR MARSHA SEGEBARTH
IN INDIANA
Kelly, during your high school career you should expose yourself
to as much biology as possible. If you have Anatomy and Physiology
at your school, take it. Of course, you will have already
had Biology, a beginning chemistry course, and a basic physics
course. Those are the minimum to obtain while in high school.
If you have the opportunity to study microbiology, consider
taking that, as well. Dentistry requires a strong background
in biology - as does hygiene. Both fields require good people
skills, too. Therefore, courses in psychology and communication
would prove helpful. Good luck! My husband is a dentist and
my daughter is in dental school. They are both very pleased
with their choice of careers
