I meet the A-Level requirements for most uni's that offer the course and have work experience in a hospital but nothing related to Dentistry. I heard that most people who get offers have worked as Dental Nurse for years. Is there any point in applying as guy who has not ever worked as a Dental Nurse before due to the high competition for the course. I really want to study being DHT but I realistically, I won't be able to work as a Dental Nurse in time for my application so I have the chance of getting an offer. Has there been anyone out there who has not worked as a Dental Nurse but only done some shadowing at some dental practices get accepted? Also I know this is an incredibly stupid question, but would I be rejected as I male. Again, I'm so sorry for asking that stupid question but from reading all the threads here and asking online, I don't understand why there are so little males on DHT courses?
