Here in the states dental school requires a BA before applying to dental school meaning it takes about 7-9 years to complete dentistry - that is if you get accepted. All around the world there are many places where you can go into dentistry right after high school. Can you guys please tell me where dental schools are the world are (website?, contact info?) - i know there are some in pakistan - i heard some about egypt but could not find any.
for Pak one you need to have A-levels or equivalent before you can join the degree program

Check out a country you're interested in - look up what dentistry schools they have and see what their requirements are on the website. If the school doesn't have a website, then ... its probably not that great of a school...
Well in Britain and I suspect the rest of Europe, you can enter right after A-Levels into a 5-year BDS dentistry program, and very often a 6-year program is offered with a predental year for applicants who may not have studied science based subjects at A-level (or are international students).
So yes there are quite a few schools out there that accept students straight out of high-school. However, you should make sure that whichever school you go to is accredited by the local body in that country and you are not going to have any problems getting a license in your own country after you graduate from that program.
