You'd get into uni fine, I'm just not sure on the requirements for dentistry.

And yeah free tuition

Ahh right then yeah you'll be fine, but I reckon maths as would be handy for the equations and stuff in biology and chemistry

If it doesn't specifically state that you need maths then you can take whatever A Level or AS Levels that you want instead. Medicine and Dentistry requirements I beleive are quite similar so I think, universities prefer to see Physics/Maths however, it will not hinder your chances if you do not have them :smile:
