A. if you want to be a dentist, being a dental assistant or hygienist is simply wasting time. none of the courses transfer and they don't help you get into dental school. If you want to be a hygienist or assistant, that's great--but they don't do anything for the path to denist.
it is very difficult to get into dental school. Schools often take only 5-8% of those who apply which is a smaller percentage than most medical schools. You need a 4 year bachelor's degree in anything as well as taking the predental courses, which differ from school to school but always include 1 year chem, 1 year biology, 1 year physics, 1 year organic chem.
then you take the DAT exam and must score very high. Then it's another 4 years of dental school if you get accepted anywhere. Most students that get accepted have about a 3.6 or 3.7 GPA durin gundergrad.

Where can I apply for Dental charity funds for dental reconstruction?
Q. I am an adult, born with a cleft palate (corrected since).
I live on a Social Security Disability income of $1000.00 a month and I am in dire need of about $8,000.00 worth of dental work. I am basing this on an estimate from a local dental school that charges 1/2 the going rate! I live in Phoenix, Arizona and cannot afford travel:(

A. I don't believe that there are any programs that provide reconstruction grants. If you need this much work, many charities would probably recommend extractions/dentures. Call your local dental society to see if you can get a dentist that would be willing to provide the services at a fraction of the cost. I would definitely emphasize the cleft palate. Perhaps they can do a pro-bono service and write it off of their taxes. Have you researched the possibility of Medicaid dental grants? Try Cleft Palate Non-profit organizations.
