dentistry URGENT

Hello guys I am really keen onto doing dentistry but it looks like I need to take a gap year after I do my levels at 2026 due to my low gcse unless I get offered a foundation course with dentistry. Also what are the requirements for foundation year as I don’t do Chemsitry for a level just biology and English and phycology
My gcse are all 6s except maths chem and physics with 5s

Plz help me

What is the urgency?

A quick google of a few dentistry schools suggest A level chemistry is a requirement. But also many look at GCSEs and require a number of 7s, or at least a 6 maths. Just looked at Newcastle’s pre-dental year and you wouldn’t meet their GCSE requirements.

I suggest you spend a while googling the entry requirements of dental schools you are interested in to see if there are others you might meet requirements for.
