Best degrees to do before Dentistry

I got rejected from dentistry so have decided to do another degree first and apply for grad entry. I am sturggling to pick with degree though. I want to do something that will be manageable for me to get a 1st in, but I am unsure if i want to do biomed as i think I will find it a bit boring. I was thinking Dental Technology as i think i will enjoy it but does anyone know anyone who has got into dentistry doing something similar? Thanks

Honestly you would be better off taking a gap year and reapplying to dentistry, rather than some unrelated degree for a chance to get into dentistry later...

As above, not a recommend path if you really do want to do Dentistry. You would taking a 3-year degree in a subject that you are not that interested in, then another 5 years of Dentistry. And its not just the time that would take, but also the £££ cost.

Find out why you didn't get offers for Dentistry this year, do something about that, and reapply.
