Can I get into Dentistry with a 5 in English

I got my gcse’s this year this meant that instead of doing the final exam I got a predicted grade based off what my teacher thought I would get in the real exam. I was happy with all my grades initially but now I have an issue, I only hot a 5 in English Language and Im worried it will hold my back from career in the medical world. Im interested in becoming a dentist ,could I get in? I got a 7 in maths an 8 in biology and a 7 in Chemistry. Would I still be able to get onto a uni if I develop a strong personal statement or is there another medical career that I could go into? Im looking to get AAA at a-level (Biology chemistry, psychology)

Don't you have a shiny new 'Am I good enough for Dentistry' thread you could move this into too?

Prsom
I don't move them as merging causes issues for the site but I usually just link in the thread and ask OP to post in there, but it seems their question has already been answered so no need

Ah funny as with Medicine ecolier merges without mercy

Very true, ecolier has special powers, whilst I'm just a mere forum helper

Get yourself bumped up to VT ASAP - tell them you need the special powers

Nooo I have a full-time job already looking after the dentistry forum as a FH, I'd have to be glued to TSR 24/7 if I became a VT

You mean you're not glued to TSR 24/7 already?? Shame!!

Dental school by day, dental forum by night

Are you back in uni now? It must be full on!

It’s only been online so far

Seriously? Are your placements etc cancelled?

We do have placements but much less than normal 4th year so they haven’t started as of yet (although today I had the induction session for one of our outreach clinics )
