Applying to dentistry in my gap year

Hello All,
Just abit stuck and had a think but I am reapplying to dent this year september, and looking to get Achieved A/A* grades.
However, My gcses arent that great and it worries me if i could even get a place, i achieved 2356667889 (5 in eng lang, 6 in maths), and also went through mitigating circumstances when I sat them.
which dental schools do not heavily look at gcses?
i also do K+, not sure if its worth applying to kings despite i do their Wp programme.

thanks.

Gcses are too low unless you email the uni's you are interested to ask if your specific mitigating circumstances would be enough to make up for them. Dentistry cares highly for gcses.
You'd also have to do volunteering, get work experience in a dentists, do well in the ucat this summer, write your personal statement then do well in interview.
Best of luck.
