Midwifery to Dentistry

Hello, I’m studying midwifery and qualify next year (2025) but I wanted to go into dentistry after. Do you think I would have a chance in being accepted into dentistry? If so, I would appreciate some guidance on my next steps please. thanks in advance

What made you wanna leave midwifery? Funny as I'm a dental nurse but looking to be a hygienist/therapist but midwifery was my back up
graduate entry dentistry is 10x more competitive than normal undergraduate dentistry. Itll probs be like 30:1 applicant to place ratio. Make sure u smash ur ucat !

I have enjoyed my midwifery journey but I feel like it isn’t my passion anymore as a career. I’m finishing my third year this year but now I’m looking to go into dental hygiene and therapy as well so I’m still researching my options xx
