Subjects for A level

I'm not really sure what subjects to take for when I go into sixth form as I think I want to do dentistry later on. I know that for dentistry biology is compulsory in most universities however biology is my weakest from the three sciences and I enjoy it the least. I am definitely going to take maths and chemistry but I just don't know if I should take physics or biology. Physics is also my best subject but it doesn't really help in dentistry. I'm not really interested in engineering. I'm also worried that if I take biology I might not even get into dentistry school as for most the requirements are getting an A.

If you want to do dentistry, you'll have to take bio then. You could always take maths chem phy and bio and then drop one subject

Btw, doing an EPQ will not mean Unis would accept a lower grade in Biology.

Most ask for bio + chem, but quite a lot also ask for just chem + a second science (so maths, physics, bio and sometimes psychology), so chem + maths + anything will work for a decent amount of unis. Have a look at the entry requirements for dentistry courses and see what they say.
