These are the admission criteria for dental school. One must pass the dental admission test which covers areas such as chemistry, biology, perceptual ability, reading comprehension and reasoning. Dental school, like any bachelors degree in Canada, lasts four years, with each year building on what you learned last. The last two years include clinical studies where you participate in active dental practices under the supervision of a dental professional. Then, you can specialize or not, so that would mean taking extra years to do a master's degree. Then, to be able to work legally, you need a criminal record check and an annual renewal.
