Is gaining the required grades to become a dentist or physiotherapist more difficult than actually studying to?
Q. Is gaining the required grades to become a dentist or physiotherapist more difficult than actually studying to become one of those things?

I mean, in The UK, you need GCSEs and A Levels to be able to study dentistry or physiotherapy. I was wondering, is it more difficult to gain the required grades to study those things than it is to actually study and pass dentistry or physiotherapy?
More detail, please, chris m. Are you speaking from experience?

A. It is always easier to get grades to get into any field of study. The real challenge comes when you are competing with other students who come with the same grades as you do. Once you begin studying to be a dentist, physiotherapist, or anything else, you have more to learn and at a much deeper level. A lot of people start out to become dentist or physiotherapists, not everyone makes it.


How long does it take o become a Dentist?
Q. How long does it take to become a dentist, some people say 7 years others say 8, and what is the difference between becoming a dentist in 7 years or 8, in other words what does this depend on, also if anybody knows what is the intensity of dental school.

A. it differs from country to country. In India, it takes five years from when you finish school to when you are holding a certificate that says you can be a dentist.


What steps do I take to become a dentist in Alaska?
Q. I would like to become a dentist, veeery much. But I want to stay in Alaska. I am planning to either go to the University of Alaska Anchorage or the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau. Does anybody know what exactly I'd need to do? The reason I'd like to stay in Alaska is mostly financial, plus I sort of like it here. Answers are very appreciated. :)

A. I live in Fairbanks.

Unfortunatly, UAA and UAF do not have dental programs. If you truly want to become a dentist you will need to find a school in the lower 48.

As an Alaskan, I share you dis-interest in going to the lower 48 for anything. However, I usually end up down there 2-3 times a year on business, and, all it does is make me appreciate Alaska more each time I return! In the long run it would be a good thing for you to get out of Alaska for school - it will help you relate better to real world the rest of your life.

As to which school - find out who is the best dentist in your area and seek that person out. Find out what school they would go to if they could do it all over again. Many dental schools train to do the usually things and expect that anything unusual would be refered to a specialist. In Alaska specialists are hard to find or non-existent.......... so you need a training program that prepares you to handle any dental emergency or cosmetic function.

Hope this helps.
