If you take bio and/or chem then Yes you can if you get AAA as that is the entry requirement for most dental schools except kings A*AA and QUML A*AA. You also need AAA or more as your predicted grades if you want to go into dentistry next year - if you don’t have the predicted grades then you can take a gap year and apply with your a level grades eg AAA
However if you do not take biology and/or chemistry as one of your a level options then probably not as for dentistry it is mandatory to have taken biology and/or chemistry depending on the school

How many years exactly do I have to study health social care at college until I get to uni? And also where do I study chemistry and biology?

Not to sure, but it should be around a 2 year course. I think you should ask your teacher how long your course is. In terms of where to study bio and chem, do they not offer those courses in your college?
