<p>I am considering a Dentisty as a profession. Would it be beneficial to choose Dental Hygiene as an undergrad major as a precaution just in case I am denied admission to Dental school? Is it better to go the DH route vs. a pre-dentistry major? I know there are different prerequisites and that some DH work would have to be repeated in dental school, but is it worth it? Why is it that there are not many dental students applying with DH as an undergrad degree?</p>
