Psychology or Maths for dentistry

Hello, I was thinking about going into dentistry and I want to take biology, chemistry and either one of psychology or math for my third choice, but I don’t know which one would be better? Is the ukcat hard so would I need to take a level maths to get a good score? If anyone knows

Hello,

From my understanding, taking mathematics is a better choice if you plan on getting into dentistry because it is a science field. I would suggest looking at the entry requirements of the Universities you wish to get into and see what grades are needed and if they require you to study specific subjects. If not, I would suggest you study whichever subject you feel more passionate about. My sister wants to study veterinary medicine and she is doing AS chemistry, biology and Arabic (irrelevant subject to what she wants to pursue in University). Most of the Universities that she researched required chemistry, biology and any subject as a 3rd option.

Hope this clarifies things for you. Do your research and good luck! :u:
