Your grades are good enough. However, if you have to ask that question, the answer is no. Those subjects are competitive and you NEED to be certain that you want to do one of them to get in.

Conviction! Your grades are excellent, your subject choices are excellent, but Medicine and Dentistry are not things you do simply because your subject choices are suitable. They're things you do because you're passionate and certain that you want to do one of them.
