    Hi,
    The structure of dental education in US is very different from that in India. Dentistry is a very popular stream of medical study with Indian students. Those thinking of pursuing it from the US need to keep in mind that the structure of dental education there is very different from that in India. There is no undergraduate dental degree in the United States. Therefore, it is not possible to begin dental school directly after finishing school. So the dental education begins only on the Post Graduate level. As an international student you will need an undergraduate degree in sciences before you can be admitted to dental school.
